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…
Following the successful debut of polyp detection and characterization, more advanced automation tools are being developed for colonoscopy. The new automation tasks, such as quality metrics or report generation, require understanding of the…
Colorectal cancer screening through colonoscopy continues to be the dominant global standard, as it allows identifying pre-cancerous or adenomatous lesions and provides the ability to remove them during the procedure itself. Nevertheless,…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, underscoring the importance of timely polyp detection and diagnosis. While deep learning models have improved optical-assisted diagnostics, they often demand…
Colonoscopic Polyp Re-Identification aims to match a specific polyp in a large gallery with different cameras and views, which plays a key role for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer in the computer-aided diagnosis. However,…
Validation metrics are a key prerequisite for the reliable tracking of scientific progress and for deciding on the potential clinical translation of methods. While recent initiatives aim to develop comprehensive theoretical frameworks for…
Colonoscopy is a routine outpatient procedure used to examine the colon and rectum for any abnormalities including polyps, diverticula and narrowing of colon structures. A significant amount of the clinician's time is spent in…
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…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can potentially support histopathologists in the diagnosis of a broad spectrum of cancer types. In colorectal cancer (CRC), AI can alleviate the laborious task of characterization and reporting on resected…
Current polyp detection methods from colonoscopy videos use exclusively normal (i.e., healthy) training images, which i) ignore the importance of temporal information in consecutive video frames, and ii) lack knowledge about the polyps.…
Colorectal cancer, largely arising from precursor lesions called polyps, remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Current clinical standards require the resection and histopathological analysis of polyps due to…
Medical image segmentation is the technique that helps doctor view and has a precise diagnosis, particularly in Colorectal Cancer. Specifically, with the increase in cases, the diagnosis and identification need to be faster and more…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer diagnosed in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer-related death among both genders. Notably, CRC is the leading cause of cancer in younger men less than 50…
Polyp segmentation is a critical step in colorectal cancer detection, yet it remains challenging due to the diverse shapes, sizes, and low contrast boundaries of polyps in medical imaging. In this work, we propose a novel framework that…
The diagnosis process of colorectal cancer mainly focuses on the localization and characterization of abnormal growths in the colon tissue known as polyps. Despite recent advances in deep object localization, the localization of polyps…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third cause of cancer death worldwide. Currently, the standard approach to reduce CRC-related mortality is to perform regular screening in search for polyps and colonoscopy is the screening tool of choice. The…
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. For this reason, histopathological characterization of colorectal polyps is the major instrument for the pathologist in order to infer the actual risk for cancer…
Learning robust representations of polyp tracklets is key to enabling multiple AI-assisted colonoscopy applications, from polyp characterization to automated reporting and retrieval. Supervised contrastive learning is an effective approach…
Cervical cancer is a prevalent disease affecting millions of women worldwide every year. It requires significant attention, as early detection during the precancerous stage provides an opportunity for a cure. The screening and diagnosis of…
Efficient polyp segmentation in healthcare plays a critical role in enabling early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. However, the segmentation of polyps presents numerous challenges, including the intricate distribution of backgrounds,…
