• Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel real-time navigation guidance system for Optical Colonoscopy (OC) Our proposed system employs a real-time approach that displays both an unfolded representation of the colon and a local indicator directing to un-inspected areas. Our system resulted in a higher polyp recall (PR) and high inter-rater reliability with physicians for coverage prediction.

• Abstract: Colorectal cancer screening through colonoscopy continues to be the dominant global standard, as it allows identifying pre-cancerous or adenomatous lesions and provides the ability to remove them during the procedure itself. Nevertheless, failure by the endoscopist to identify such lesions increases the likelihood of lesion progression to subsequent colorectal cancer. Ultimately, colonoscopy remains operator-dependent, and the wide range of quality in colonoscopy examinations among endoscopists is influenced by variations in their technique, training, and diligence. This paper presents a novel real-time navigation guidance system for Optical Colonoscopy (OC). Our proposed system employs a real-time approach that displays both an unfolded representation of the colon and a local indicator directing to un-inspected areas. These visualizations are presented to the physician during the procedure, providing actionable and comprehensible guidance to un-surveyed areas in real-time, while seamlessly integrating into the physician's workflow. Through coverage experimental evaluation, we demonstrated that our system resulted in a higher polyp recall (PR) and high inter-rater reliability with physicians for coverage prediction. These results suggest that our real-time navigation guidance system has the potential to improve the quality and effectiveness of Optical Colonoscopy and ultimately benefit patient outcomes.

  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.

  We propose a two-stage deep learning framework for real-time guidewire segmentation and tracking. In the first stage, a Yolov5 detector is trained, using the original X-ray images as well as synthetic ones, to output the bounding boxes of possible target guidewires. In the second stage, a novel and efficient network is proposed to segment the guidewire in each detected bounding box.

  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.

  Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by relapsing inflammation of the large intestine. The severity of UC is often represented by the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (MES) which quantifies mucosal disease activity from endoscopy videos. We propose a novel weakly supervised, ordinal classification method to estimate frame severity from video MES labels alone.
