Background and Objective: Colorectal cancer prevention relies on early detection of polyps during colonoscopy. Existing public datasets, such as CVC-ClinicDB and Kvasir-SEG, provide valuable benchmarks but are limited by small sample sizes,…
Given the close association between colorectal cancer and polyps, the diagnosis and identification of colorectal polyps play a critical role in the detection and surgical intervention of colorectal cancer. In this context, the automatic…
Automated polyp segmentation is critical for early colorectal cancer detection and its prevention, yet remains challenging due to weak boundaries, large appearance variations, and limited annotated data. Lightweight segmentation models such…
Accurate detection of colorectal cancer and early prevention heavily rely on precise polyp identification during gastrointestinal colonoscopy. Due to limited data, many current state-of-the-art deep learning methods for polyp segmentation…
Early identification of a polyp in the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract can lead to prevention of life-threatening colorectal cancer. Developing computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to detect polyps can improve detection accuracy and…
Colonoscopy is considered the most effective screening test to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and its precursor lesions, i.e., polyps. However, the procedure experiences high miss rates due to polyp heterogeneity and inter-observer…
Pathologic diagnosis is a critical phase in deciding the optimal treatment procedure for dealing with colorectal cancer (CRC). Colonic polyps, precursors to CRC, can pathologically be classified into two major types: adenomatous and…
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are propelling advances in a range of different computer vision tasks such as object detection and object segmentation. Their success has motivated research in applications of such models for medical…
Early detection, accurate segmentation, classification and tracking of polyps during colonoscopy are critical for preventing colorectal cancer. Many existing deep-learning-based methods for analyzing colonoscopic videos either require…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the first cause of death in many countries. CRC originates from a small clump of cells on the lining of the colon called polyps, which over time might grow and become malignant. Early detection and removal of…
This paper presents a novel supervised convolutional neural network architecture, "DUCK-Net", capable of effectively learning and generalizing from small amounts of medical images to perform accurate segmentation tasks. Our model utilizes…
Colonoscopy is a common and practical method for detecting and treating polyps. Segmenting polyps from colonoscopy image is useful for diagnosis and surgery progress. Nevertheless, achieving excellent segmentation performance is still…
Colonoscopy is a gold standard procedure but is highly operator-dependent. Efforts have been made to automate the detection and segmentation of polyps, a precancerous precursor, to effectively minimize missed rate. Widely used…
Accurate endoscopic image segmentation on the polyps is critical for early colorectal cancer detection. However, this task remains challenging due to low contrast with surrounding mucosa, specular highlights, and indistinct boundaries. To…
Colonoscopy is the primary method for examination, detection, and removal of polyps. However, challenges such as variations among the endoscopists' skills, bowel quality preparation, and the complex nature of the large intestine contribute…
Early diagnosis and treatment of polyps during colonoscopy are essential for reducing the incidence and mortality of Colorectal Cancer (CRC). However, the variability in polyp characteristics and the presence of artifacts in colonoscopy…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common fatal cancer in the world. Polypectomy can effectively interrupt the progression of adenoma to adenocarcinoma, thus reducing the risk of CRC development. Colonoscopy is the primary method to…
Accurate polyp delineation in colonoscopy is crucial for assisting in diagnosis, guiding interventions, and treatments. However, current deep-learning approaches fall short due to integrity deficiency, which often manifests as missing…
Cancer is a disease that occurs as a result of the uncontrolled division and proliferation of cells. Colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. Polyps that can be seen in the large intestine can cause cancer if not…
Polyp segmentation plays a vital role in accurately locating polyps at an early stage, which holds significant clinical importance for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Various polyp segmentation methods have been developed using…
