• Abstract: This paper presents a colonoscope tracking method utilizing a colon shape estimation method. CT colonography is used as a less-invasive colon diagnosis method. If colonic polyps or early-stage cancers are found, they are removed in a colonoscopic examination. In the colonoscopic examination, understanding where the colonoscope running in the colon is difficult. A colonoscope navigation system is necessary to reduce overlooking of polyps. We propose a colonoscope tracking method for navigation systems. Previous colonoscope tracking methods caused large tracking errors because they do not consider deformations of the colon during colonoscope insertions. We utilize the shape estimation network (SEN), which estimates deformed colon shape during colonoscope insertions. The SEN is a neural network containing long short-term memory (LSTM) layer. To perform colon shape estimation suitable to the real clinical situation, we trained the SEN using data obtained during colonoscope operations of physicians. The proposed tracking method performs mapping of the colonoscope tip position to a position in the colon using estimation results of the SEN. We evaluated the proposed method in a phantom study. We confirmed that tracking errors of the proposed method was enough small to perform navigation in the ascending, transverse, and descending colons.

  This study investigates the frontiers of intelligent colonoscopy techniques and their prospective implications for multimodal medical applications. We assess the current data-centric and model-centric landscapes through four tasks for colonoscopic scene perception. To embrace the coming multimodal era, we establish three foundational initiatives: a large-scale multimodal instruction tuning dataset ColonINST, a colonoscopy-designed multimodal language model ColonGPT, and a multimodal benchmark.

  Colonoscopy is the most widely used medical technique for preventing Colorectal Cancer, by detecting and removing polyps before they become malignant. Recent studies show that around one quarter of the existing polyps are routinely missed. While some of these do appear in the endoscopist's field of view, others are missed due to a partial coverage of the colon.

To mitigate this issue, reconstructing the 3D surfaces of the colon in order to visualize the missing regions has been proposed. We present a new method to estimate the coverage from a reconstructed colon pointcloud.

  Colonoscope tracking or a navigation system that navigates physician to polyp positions is needed to reduce such complications as colon perforation. Previous tracking methods caused large tracking errors at the transverse and sigmoid colons because these areas largely deform during colonoscope insertion. We propose a colon deformation estimation method using RNN and obtain the colonoscope shape from electromagnetic sensors during its insertion into the colon.
