AI-Assisted Bronchoscopy in the Intensive Care Unit: Corpus Development and an Application to Anatomic Position Identification
摘要
This study aims to create an artificial intelligence model capable of accurately identifying bronchial segments during broncho-endoscopic navigation. To achieve this, we analyzed 126 videos from bronchoscopic procedures conducted on critically ill patients at a university hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A dataset of consistently annotated videos, captured by bronchoscopists with varied expertise, was established. Inter-annotator agreement for image classification was evaluated using Cohen’s kappa coefficient. Images of multiple bronchial segments were used as input to train a convolutional neural network in order to obtain a classification model. This paper presents the annotation schema, labeling guidelines, the developed corpus, and some preliminary results.
