Diagnosis using deep-learning artificial intelligence based on the endocytoscopic observation of the esophagus.

Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The endocytoscopic system (ECS) helps in virtual realization of histology and can aid in confirming histological diagnosis in vivo. We propose replacing biopsy-based histology for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by usin...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Diagnosis Using Hierarchical Heterogeneous Descriptor Fusion Support Vector Machine.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
A new computer-aided diagnosis method is proposed to diagnose the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) from endoscopic images of the esophageal-gastric junction. To avoid the interferences of different endoscope devices and automatic camera white b...

Intraoperative Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Distensibility During Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy.

Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques
We sought to characterize the changes in esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility during Heller Myotomy with Dor fundoplication using the EndoFLIP device. Intraoperative distensibility measurements on 14 patients undergoing Heller myotomy with D...
