Artificial Intelligence
摘要
Due to the automatic capture of the gastrointestinal tract, capsule endoscopy has major drawbacks for physicians such as the long reading time and the risk of overlooking abnormalities. A computer-aided supporting system that automatically detects abnormalities would be extremely helpful, but a satisfactory system had not been developed before the appearance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) methodology. A CNN is a type of artificial intelligence that surpasses human ability in image recognition. This chapter introduces a variety of state-of-the-art CNN-based systems for resolving the abovementioned problems in capsule endoscopy reading. Most of them are in the development phase, and the evaluation under real-life clinical scenarios is crucial for clinical implementation. We must consider how to use them and whether they can be trusted.
