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...
BACKGROUND: Early detection of esophageal squamous neoplasms (ESN) is essential for improving patient prognosis. Optical diagnosis of ESN remains challenging. Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) enables accurate histological observation...
BACKGROUND: Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems could assist endoscopists in detecting early neoplasia in Barrett's oesophagus, which could be difficult to detect in endoscopic images. The aim of this study was to develop, test, and benchmark a C...
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.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now a trendy subject in clinical medicine and especially in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. AI has the potential to improve the quality of GI endoscopy at all levels. It will compensate for humans' errors and limited ...

OBJECTIVE: This article presents a novel method of semisupervised learning using convolutional autoencoders for optical endomicroscopic images. Optical endomicroscopy (OE) is a newly emerged biomedical imaging modality that can support real-time clin...
