Reported applications of computer-aided diagnosis and artificial intelligence in various endoscopic procedures

Procedure Application
Colonoscopy Detection of polyps (real time and on still images and video)
Classification of polyps (neoplastic vs hyperplastic)
Detection of malignancy within polyps (depth of invasion on endocytoscopic images)
Presence of inflammation on endocytoscopic images
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) Lesion detection and classification (bleeding, ulcers, polyps)
Assessment of intestinal motility
Celiac disease (assessment of villous atrophy, intestinal motility)
Improve efficiency of image review
Deletion of duplicate images and uninformative image frames (eg, images with debris)
Upper endoscopy Identify anatomical location
Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection status
Gastric cancer detection and assessing depth of invasion
Esophageal squamous dysplasia
Detection and delineation of early dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus
Real-time image segmentation in volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) in Barrett’s esophagus
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) Differentiation of pancreatic cancer from chronic pancreatitis and normal pancreas
Differentiation of autoimmune pancreatitis from chronic pancreatitis
EUS elastography

Applications in which use of deep learning has been reported.
