Table 3.

Positive sample sequence summarised attribute: Total of 23 sequences are provided as positive sample sequence for patients with polyp instances during colonoscopy examination.

Sequence Description Artifact
seq. 1 Normal mucosa Light reflections; green patch
seq. 2 5 mm polyp at 6 o’clock Partially covered with stool; reflections; green patch
seq. 3 Polyp at distance, 4 o’clock Light reflection from liquid; green patch
seq. 4 2–3 mm polyp Liquid covering half of the image; green patch
seq. 5 5 mm polyp catched by a snare Partial occlusion by biopsy instrument
seq. 6 Polyp covering half of the circumference Cap; green patch
seq. 7 Normal mucosa Light reflection; some remnant stool; green patch
seq. 8 Typical flat cancer Light reflection; green patch
seq. 9 2 mm polyp at 2 o’clock Light reflection; green patch
seq. 10 Subtle small protrusions some remnant stool
seq. 11 Polyp at 2–3 o’clock Light reflections in the periphery
seq. 12 Dye lifted 4–5 mm polyp Low contrast
seq. 13 6–7 mm polyp catched with a snare Low contrast; small reflections
seq. 14 Paris 1 p polyp, large long stak, JNET 2a Lifted by Indigo Carmine, snare place around the stalk
seq. 15 Paris 1 s JNET2a polyp and 1 Paris 1 sp to the left Lifted by Indigo Carmine
seq. 16 Paris 1 p polyp, large long stalk, JNET 2a Lifted by Indigo Carmine
seq. 17 Paris 1 sp polyp Light reflections make surface assessment impossible
seq. 18 Difficult interpretation Blurry image and reduced view
seq. 19 Paris 1 p polyp, large long stalk, JNET 2a Less contrast and slightly occluded
seq. 20 half of the polyp visible Blurry image, with some blood on the mucosa
seq. 21 Two adenomas polyp Blurry image
seq. 22 adenomas polyp Blurry image makes exact diagnosis impossible
seq. 23 serrated polyp Perfect clean mucosa, minor light reflections

Here JNET refers to Japan NBI Expert Team classification score. These sequences depict different sized polyps and location with different artifacts and varying visibility. Sequences referring to one selected image is shown in Fig. 4.
