Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease decreasing life quality through symptoms such as bloody diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Endoscopy is a cornerstone of diagnosis and monitoring of UC. The Mayo endoscopic subscore…

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by relapsing inflammation of the large intestine. The severity of UC is often represented by the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (MES) which quantifies mucosal disease…

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by inflammation of the mucosal layer of the colon. Diagnosis of UC is based on clinical symptoms, and then confirmed based on…

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic mucosal inflammatory condition that places patients at increased risk of colorectal cancer. Colonoscopic surveillance remains the gold standard for assessing disease activity, and reporting typically…

Ulcerative colitis (UC) classification, which is an important task for endoscopic diagnosis, involves two main difficulties. First, endoscopic images with the annotation about UC (positive or negative) are usually limited. Second, they show…

Endoscopic imaging is commonly used to diagnose Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and classify its severity. It has been shown that deep learning based methods are effective in automated analysis of these images and can potentially be used to aid…

Patient-level diagnosis of severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) is common in real clinical settings, where the most severe score in a patient is recorded. However, previous UC classification methods (i.e., image-level estimation) mainly…

Accurate assessment of disease severity from endoscopy videos in ulcerative colitis (UC) is crucial for evaluating drug efficacy in clinical trials. Severity is often measured by the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (MES) and Ulcerative Colitis…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Histological remission (HR) is advocated and considered as a new therapeutic target in ulcerative colitis (UC). Diagnosis of histologic remission currently relies on biopsy; during this process, patients are at risk for…

Estimating disease severity from endoscopic images is essential in assessing ulcerative colitis, where the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (MES) is widely used to grade inflammation. However, MES classification remains challenging due to label…

We present a lesion-aware image captioning framework for ulcerative colitis (UC). The model integrates ResNet embeddings, Grad-CAM heatmaps, and CBAM-enhanced attention with a T5 decoder. Clinical metadata (MES score 0-3, vascular pattern,…

The development of methods to estimate the severity of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is of significant importance. However, these methods often suffer from domain shifts caused by differences in imaging devices and clinical settings across…

Automatic image-based severity estimation is an important task in computer-aided diagnosis. Severity estimation by deep learning requires a large amount of training data to achieve a high performance. In general, severity estimation uses…

Gastrointestinal diseases pose significant healthcare chall-enges as they manifest in diverse ways and can lead to potential complications. Ensuring precise and timely classification of these diseases is pivotal in guiding treatment choices…

Foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes mellitus and, associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, remains a major risk factor for lower leg amputations. Extracting accurate morphological features from foot wounds is crucial…

Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) are the two main Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) types. We developed deep learning models to identify histological disease features for both CD and UC using only endoscopic labels. We…

Histologic assessment of ulcerative colitis (UC) activity is an important endpoint in clinical trials and routine care, but manual grading with indices such as the Nancy histological index (NHI) is time-consuming and prone to observer…

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in particular ulcerative colitis (UC), is graded by endoscopists and this assessment is the basis for risk stratification and therapy monitoring. Presently, endoscopic characterisation is largely operator…

Data-driven methods have shown tremendous progress in medical image analysis. In this context, deep learning-based supervised methods are widely popular. However, they require a large amount of training data and face issues in…

Gastrointestinal mucosal changes can cause cancers after some years and early diagnosing them can be very useful to prevent cancers and early treatment. In this article, 8 classes of mucosal changes and anatomical landmarks including…
