INTRODUCTION: This study aims to construct a real-time deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) system to diagnose early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with white light imaging endoscopy.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Barrett's epithelium measurement using widely accepted Prague C&M classification is highly operator dependent. We propose a novel methodology for measuring this risk score automatically. The method also enables quantification of th...

Because the current Barrett's esophagus (BE) surveillance protocol suffers from sampling error of random biopsies and a high miss-rate of early neoplastic lesions, many new endoscopic imaging and sampling techniques have been developed. None of these...
Randomized trials have demonstrated that ablation of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus can reduce the risk of progression to cancer. Endoscopic resection for early stage esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma can significantly reduce post...
BACKGROUND: Although optimal treatment of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) requires accurate evaluation of cancer invasion depth, the current process is rather subjective and may vary by observer. We, therefore, aimed to develop a...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The visual detection of early esophageal neoplasia (high-grade dysplasia and T1 cancer) in Barrett's esophagus (BE) with white-light and virtual chromoendoscopy still remains challenging. The aim of this study was to assess wheth...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We assessed the preliminary diagnostic accuracy of a recently developed computer-aided detection (CAD) system for detection of Barrett's neoplasia during live endoscopic procedures.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cancer invasion depth is a critical factor affecting the choice of treatment in patients with superficial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, the diagnosis of invasion depth is currently subjective and liable to interobserver...
