Smart Atlas for Supporting the Interpretation of probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) of Biliary Strictures: First Classification Results of a Computer-Aided Diagnosis Software based on Image Recognition
Abstract
pCLE enables microscopic imaging of biliary strictures, in vivo and in real time, during an ERCP procedure. Results of a multicentric study (Meining et al., GIE 2011) have shown that pCLE allows endoscopists to diferentiate benign from malignant strictures in real time with high sensitivity and NPV. A computer-aided diagnosis software called Smart Atlas has been developed to assist endoscopists with the interpretation of pCLE sequences. This study aims at evaluating the performance of this software for the diferentiation of benign and malignant strictures.
