A multi-center analysis of deep learning methods for video polyp detection and segmentation

Colonic polyps are well-recognized precursors to colorectal cancer (CRC), typically detected during colonoscopy. However, the variability in appearance, location, and size of these polyps complicates their detection and removal, leading to challenges in effective surveillance, intervention, and subsequently CRC prevention. The processes of colonoscopy surveillance and polyp removal are highly reliant on the expertise of gastroenterologists and occur within the complexities of the colonic structure. As a result, there is a high rate of missed detections and incomplete removal of colonic polyps, which can adversely impact patient outcomes. Recently, automated methods that use machine learning have been developed to enhance polyps detection and segmentation, thus helping clinical processes and reducing missed rates. These advancements highlight the potential for improving diagnostic accuracy in real-time applications, which ultimately facilitates more effective patient management. Furthermore, integrating sequence data and temporal information could significantly enhance the precision of these methods by capturing the dynamic nature of polyp growth and the changes that occur over time. To rigorously investigate these challenges, data scientists and experts gastroenterologists collaborated to compile a comprehensive dataset that spans multiple centers and diverse populations. This initiative aims to underscore the critical importance of incorporating sequence data and temporal information in the development of robust automated detection and segmentation methods. This study evaluates the applicability of deep learning techniques developed in real-time clinical colonoscopy tasks using sequence data, highlighting the critical role of temporal relationships between frames in improving diagnostic precision.
