Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

675
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

353
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

519
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

568
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

820
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Capsule endoscopy visualizes the small bowel, but preparation quality assessment is subjective and lacks automation.
  • Manual evaluation of capsule endoscopy images is time-consuming and prone to variability.
  • Objective methods are needed to standardize and improve small bowel visualization quality assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated, objective method for evaluating small bowel visualization quality in capsule endoscopy.
  • To create a generative adversarial network for consistent image quality assessments.
  • To overcome limitations of manual assessments in capsule endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 1500 capsule endoscopy images from the Kvasir dataset with various contaminants.
  • Annotated clean and contaminated regions across images with differing contamination levels.
  • Employed a Pix2Pix generative adversarial network trained on 300 annotated images for image-to-image translation.

Main Results:

  • The Pix2Pix network achieved a Dice similarity score of 0.92 ± 0.07.
  • Achieved an intersection over union of 0.86 ± 0.12.
  • Demonstrated high accuracy with a score of 0.91 ± 0.09 on the test dataset.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model offers an objective and automated solution for capsule endoscopy quality control.
  • It requires minimal annotated data, making it suitable for clinical applications.
  • Future work includes application to other endoscopic modalities and artifact segmentation.
