Abstract
BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence (AI) using deep learning systems has recently been utilized in various medical fields. In the field of gastroenterology, AI is primarily implemented in image recognition and utilized in the realm of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. In GI endoscopy, computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) systems assist endoscopists in GI neoplasm detection or differentiation of cancerous or noncancerous lesions. Several AI systems for colorectal polyps have already been applied in colonoscopy clinical practices. In esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a few CAD systems for upper GI neoplasms have been launched in Asian countries. The usefulness of these CAD systems in GI endoscopy has been gradually elucidated. SUMMARY In this review, we outline recent articles on several studies of endoscopic AI systems for GI neoplasms, focusing on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), gastric cancer (GC), and colorectal polyps. In ESCC and EAC, computer-aided detection (CADe) systems were mainly developed, and a recent meta-analysis study showed sensitivities of 91.2% and 93.1% and specificities of 80% and 86.9%, respectively. In GC, a recent meta-analysis study on CADe systems demonstrated that their sensitivity and specificity were as high as 90%. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) also showed that the use of the CADe system reduced the miss rate. Regarding computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) systems for GC, although RCTs have not yet been conducted, most studies have demonstrated expert-level performance. In colorectal polyps, multiple RCTs have shown the usefulness of the CADe system for improving the polyp detection rate, and several CADx systems have been shown to have high accuracy in colorectal polyp differentiation. KEY MESSAGES Most analyses of endoscopic AI systems suggested that their performance was better than that of nonexpert endoscopists and equivalent to that of expert endoscopists. Thus, endoscopic AI systems may be useful for reducing the risk of overlooking lesions and improving the diagnostic ability of endoscopists.

Assessment of Pulmonary Arteries Hemodynamics and Its Relationship With Cardiac Remodeling and Myocardial Fibrosis in Athletes With Four-Dimensional Flow MRI. J Magn Reson Imaging 2024; 60:377-387. [PMID: 37819191 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.29048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise-induced cardiac remodeling (CR) and myocardial fibrosis (MF) can increase cardiovascular risk in athletes. Early detection of pulmonary arterial hemodynamics parameters among athletes may be beneficial in optimizing the frequency of clinical follow-ups. PURPOSE To analyze the hemodynamics of pulmonary arteries and its relationship with CR and MF in athletes using four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI. STUDY TYPE Prospective. POPULATION One hundred twenty-one athletes (median age, 24 years; mean exercise per week 10 hours, for mean of 5 years) and twenty-one sedentary healthy controls (median age, 25 years; exercise per week <3 hours, irregular pattern). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE True fast imaging with steady state free precession, time-resolved 3D Cartesian phase-contrast, and phase sensitive inversion recovery late gadolinium enhancement sequences at 3.0 T. ASSESSMENT CR was defined as any cardiac parameters exceeding the 99th percentile upper reference limits, encompassing ventricular function, bi-atrium and bi-ventricle diameters, and ventricular wall thickness. MF was visually evaluated by three independent radiologists. 4D flow parameters were assessed in the main, right, and left pulmonary arteries (MPA, RPA, and LPA, respectively) and compared between different groups. Four machine learning (ML) models were developed to differentiate between athletes with and without CR and/or MF. STATISTICAL TESTS Univariate analysis was used to compare groups. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to assess the performance of the ML models. RESULTS Athletes had significantly higher WSSmax in the MPA, RPA, and LPA than controls. Athletes with CR and/or MF (N = 30) had significantly lower RPmax from MPA to RPA than those without (N = 91). Among the ML models, the gradient boosting machine model had the highest performance, with an AUC of 0.90. CONCLUSION The pulmonary arterial hemodynamics parameters could differentiate CR and/or MF in athletes, which may be potential to assist in optimizing frequency of follow-up. EVIDENCE LEVEL 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

The effect of incorporating domain knowledge with deep learning in identifying benign and malignant gastric whitish lesions: A retrospective study. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 39:1343-1351. [PMID: 38414305 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.16525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Early whitish gastric neoplasms can be easily misdiagnosed; differential diagnosis of gastric whitish lesions remains a challenge. We aim to build a deep learning (DL) model to diagnose whitish gastric neoplasms and explore the effect of adding domain knowledge in model construction. METHODS We collected 4558 images from two institutions to train and test models. We first developed two sole DL models (1 and 2) using supervised and semi-supervised algorithms. Then we selected diagnosis-related features through literature research and developed feature-extraction models to determine features including boundary, surface, roundness, depression, and location. Then predictions of the five feature-extraction models and sole DL model were combined and inputted into seven machine-learning (ML) based fitting-diagnosis models. The optimal model was selected as ENDOANGEL-WD (whitish-diagnosis) and compared with endoscopists. RESULTS Sole DL 2 had higher sensitivity (83.12% vs 68.67%, Bonferroni adjusted P = 0.024) than sole DL 1. Adding domain knowledge, the decision tree performed best among the seven ML models, achieving higher specificity than DL 1 (84.38% vs 72.27%, Bonferroni adjusted P < 0.05) and higher accuracy than DL 2 (80.47%, Bonferroni adjusted P < 0.001) and was selected as ENDOANGEL-WD. ENDOANGEL-WD showed better accuracy compared with 10 endoscopists (75.70%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We developed a novel system ENDOANGEL-WD combining domain knowledge and traditional DL to detect gastric whitish neoplasms. Adding domain knowledge improved the performance of traditional DL, which provided a novel solution for establishing diagnostic models for other rare diseases potentially.

World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:40. [PMID: 38297303 PMCID: PMC10832162 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03321-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of machine learning (ML) for identifying early gastric cancer (EGC) has drawn increasing attention. However, there lacks evidence-based support for its specific diagnostic performance. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis was implemented to assess the performance of image-based ML in EGC diagnosis. METHODS We performed a comprehensive electronic search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to September 25, 2022. QUADAS-2 was selected to judge the risk of bias of included articles. We did the meta-analysis using a bivariant mixed-effect model. Sensitivity analysis and heterogeneity test were performed. RESULTS Twenty-one articles were enrolled. The sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), and SROC of ML-based models were 0.91 (95% CI: 0.87-0.94), 0.85 (95% CI: 0.81-0.89), and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.39-1.00) in the training set and 0.90 (95% CI: 0.86-0.93), 0.90 (95% CI: 0.86-0.92), and 0.96 (95% CI: 0.19-1.00) in the validation set. The SEN, SPE, and SROC of EGC diagnosis by non-specialist clinicians were 0.64 (95% CI: 0.56-0.71), 0.84 (95% CI: 0.77-0.89), and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.29-0.97), and those by specialist clinicians were 0.80 (95% CI: 0.74-0.85), 0.88 (95% CI: 0.85-0.91), and 0.91 (95% CI: 0.37-0.99). With the assistance of ML models, the SEN of non-specialist physicians in the diagnosis of EGC was significantly improved (0.76 vs 0.64). CONCLUSION ML-based diagnostic models have greater performance in the identification of EGC. The diagnostic accuracy of non-specialist clinicians can be improved to the level of the specialists with the assistance of ML models. The results suggest that ML models can better assist less experienced clinicians in diagnosing EGC under endoscopy and have broad clinical application value.

A newly developed deep learning-based system for automatic detection and classification of small bowel lesions during double-balloon enteroscopy examination. BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:10. [PMID: 38166722 PMCID: PMC10759410 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-03067-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a standard method for diagnosing and treating small bowel disease. However, DBE may yield false-negative results due to oversight or inexperience. We aim to develop a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system for the automatic detection and classification of small bowel abnormalities in DBE. DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 5201 images were collected from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University to construct a detection model for localizing lesions during DBE, and 3021 images were collected to construct a classification model for classifying lesions into four classes, protruding lesion, diverticulum, erosion & ulcer and angioectasia. The performance of the two models was evaluated using 1318 normal images and 915 abnormal images and 65 videos from independent patients and then compared with that of 8 endoscopists. The standard answer was the expert consensus. RESULTS For the image test set, the detection model achieved a sensitivity of 92% (843/915) and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.947, and the classification model achieved an accuracy of 86%. For the video test set, the accuracy of the system was significantly better than that of the endoscopists (85% vs. 77 ± 6%, p < 0.01). For the video test set, the proposed system was superior to novices and comparable to experts. CONCLUSIONS We established a real-time CAD system for detecting and classifying small bowel lesions in DBE with favourable performance. ENDOANGEL-DBE has the potential to help endoscopists, especially novices, in clinical practice and may reduce the miss rate of small bowel lesions.

Abstract
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) screening is being implemented in countries with a high incidence of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer. High-quality EGD screening ensures the yield of early diagnosis and prevents suffering from advanced UGI cancer and minimal operational-related discomfort. However, performance varied dramatically among endoscopists, and quality control for EGD screening remains suboptimal. Guidelines have recommended potential measures for endoscopy quality improvement and research has been conducted for evidence. Moreover, artificial intelligence offers a promising solution for computer-aided diagnosis and quality control during EGD examinations. In this review, we summarized the key points for quality assurance in EGD screening based on current guidelines and evidence. We also outline the latest evidence, limitations, and future prospects of the emerging role of artificial intelligence in EGD quality control, aiming to provide a foundation for improving the quality of EGD screening.

Klang E, Sourosh A, Nadkarni GN, Sharif K, Lahat A. Deep Learning and Gastric Cancer: Systematic Review of AI-Assisted Endoscopy. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:3613. [PMID: 38132197 PMCID: PMC10742887 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13243613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC), a significant health burden worldwide, is typically diagnosed in the advanced stages due to its non-specific symptoms and complex morphological features. Deep learning (DL) has shown potential for improving and standardizing early GC detection. This systematic review aims to evaluate the current status of DL in pre-malignant, early-stage, and gastric neoplasia analysis. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE for original studies implementing DL algorithms for gastric neoplasia detection using endoscopic images. We adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The focus was on studies providing quantitative diagnostic performance measures and those comparing AI performance with human endoscopists. RESULTS Our review encompasses 42 studies that utilize a variety of DL techniques. The findings demonstrate the utility of DL in GC classification, detection, tumor invasion depth assessment, cancer margin delineation, lesion segmentation, and detection of early-stage and pre-malignant lesions. Notably, DL models frequently matched or outperformed human endoscopists in diagnostic accuracy. However, heterogeneity in DL algorithms, imaging techniques, and study designs precluded a definitive conclusion about the best algorithmic approach. CONCLUSIONS The promise of artificial intelligence in improving and standardizing gastric neoplasia detection, diagnosis, and segmentation is significant. This review is limited by predominantly single-center studies and undisclosed datasets used in AI training, impacting generalizability and demographic representation. Further, retrospective algorithm training may not reflect actual clinical performance, and a lack of model details hinders replication efforts. More research is needed to substantiate these findings, including larger-scale multi-center studies, prospective clinical trials, and comprehensive technical reporting of DL algorithms and datasets, particularly regarding the heterogeneity in DL algorithms and study designs.

[PMID: 37116818 DOI: 10.1016/j.semcancer.2023.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/30/2023]
Abstract
Gastric cancer is a leading contributor to cancer incidence and mortality globally. Recently, artificial intelligence approaches, particularly machine learning and deep learning, are rapidly reshaping the full spectrum of clinical management for gastric cancer. Machine learning is formed from computers running repeated iterative models for progressively improving performance on a particular task. Deep learning is a subtype of machine learning on the basis of multilayered neural networks inspired by the human brain. This review summarizes the application of artificial intelligence algorithms to multi-dimensional data including clinical and follow-up information, conventional images (endoscope, histopathology, and computed tomography (CT)), molecular biomarkers, etc. to improve the risk surveillance of gastric cancer with established risk factors; the accuracy of diagnosis, and survival prediction among established gastric cancer patients; and the prediction of treatment outcomes for assisting clinical decision making. Therefore, artificial intelligence makes a profound impact on almost all aspects of gastric cancer from improving diagnosis to precision medicine. Despite this, most established artificial intelligence-based models are in a research-based format and often have limited value in real-world clinical practice. With the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence in clinical use, we anticipate the arrival of artificial intelligence-powered gastric cancer care.

[PMID: 36685842 PMCID: PMC9845267 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1087201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Anoikis is considered as a particular type of programmed cell death, the weakness or resistance of which contributes greatly to the development and progression of most malignant solid tumors. However, the latent impact of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) on gastric cancer (GC) is still ambiguous. Based on these, this study established an anoikis-related prognostic model of GC to identify the prognosis of patients and provide more effective treatment in clinical practice. Methods: First, we extracted four public datasets containing the gene expression and clinicopathological information of GC, which were worked as the training and validating sets, separately. Then, an anoikis-related survival-predicted model of GC was developed via Lasso and COX regression analyses and verified by using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses. Next, we assigned GC patients to two groups characterized by the risk score calculated and analyzed somatic mutation, functional pathways, and immune infiltration between the different two groups. Finally, a unique nomogram was offered to clinicians to forecast the personal survival probability of GC patients. Results: Based on seven anoikis-related markers screened and identified, a carcinogenic model of risk score was produced. Patients placed in the high-score group suffered significantly worse overall survival (OS) in four cohorts. Additionally, the model revealed a high sensitivity and specificity to prognosticate the prognoses of GC patients [area under the ROC curve (AUC) at 5-year = 0.713; GSE84437, AUC at 5-year = 0.639; GSE15459, AUC at 5-year = 0.672; GSE62254, AUC at 5-year = 0.616]. Apart from the excellent predictive performance, the model was also identified as an independent prediction factor from other clinicopathological characteristics. Combining anoikis-related prognostic model with GC clinical features, we built a more comprehensive nomogram to foresee the likelihood of survival of GC patients in a given year, showing a well-accurate prediction performance. Conclusion: In summary, this study created a new anoikis-related signature for GC, which has potentially provided new critical insights into survival prediction and individualized therapy development.
