A System for Colorectal Tumor Classification in Magnifying Endoscopic NBI Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a recognition system for classifying NBI images of colorectal tumors into three types (A, B, and C3) of structures of microvessels on the colorectal surface. These types have a strong correlation with histologic diagnosis: hyperplasias (HP), tubular adenomas (TA), and carcinomas with massive submucosal invasion (SM-m). Images are represented by Bag-of-features of the SIFT descriptors densely sampled on a grid, and then classified by an SVM with an RBF kernel. A dataset of 907 NBI images were used for experiments with 10-fold cross-validation, and recognition rate of 94.1% were obtained.

Endoscopic Assessment of Colorectal Cancer with Superficial or Deep Submucosal Invasion Using Magnifying Colonoscopy
Among early colorectal carcinoma, endoscopic treatment is generally indicative for cases with intramucosal to submucosal (SM) superficial invasion, because cases with SM deep invasion should be treated surgically due to the risk of lymph node metastasis. It is important, therefore, to distinguish between superficial and deep SM invasion in early colorectal carcinoma prior to treatment. In this ...

BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between narrow-band imaging (NBI) magnifying observation using the surface pattern as the main evaluation criterion and pit pattern diagnosis on the basis of magnifying observation using a dye in relation to the characteristics of colorectal tumors according to their morphologies. METHODS In this study, NBI observation and p...
متن کاملNBI and NBI Combined with Magnifying Colonoscopy
Although magnifying chromoendoscopy had been a reliable diagnostic tool, narrow-band imaging (NBI) has been developed in Japan since 1999 and has now replaced the major role of chromoendoscopy because of its convenience and simplicity. In this paper, we principally describe the efficacy of magnifying chromoendoscopy and magnifying colonoscopy with NBI for detection, histological prediction, est...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The real-time optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps with high confidence predictions can achieve high levels of accuracy. Increasing the rates of high confidence optical diagnosis can improve the clinical application of real-time optical diagnosis in routine practice. The primary aim of this prospective study was to evaluate whether high magnifying endoscopy improves ...
متن کاملObserver Variability in Gastric Neoplasm Assessment Using the Vessel Plus Surface Classification for Magnifying Endoscopy with Narrow Band Imaging
BACKGROUND/AIMS Recent studies have demonstrated that magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) facilitates differentiation of early gastric cancer from gastric adenoma using vessel plus surface (VS) classification. This study estimated the interobserver and intraobserver agreement of endoscopists using the Yao VS classification system for the gastric mucosal surface. METHODS We ...
