Building an AI Support Tool for Real-time Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis
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 (MES) index is the standard for measuring UC severity during endoscopic evaluation. However, the MES is subject to high inter-observer variability leading to misdiagnosis and suboptimal treatment. We propose using a machine-learning based MES classification system to support the endoscopic process and to mitigate the observer-variability. The system runs real-time in the clinic and augments doctors' decision-making during the endoscopy. This project report outlines the process of designing, creating and evaluating our system. We describe our initial evaluation, which is a combination of a standard non-clinical model test and a first clinical test of the system on a real patient.

Comparative study of under-expressed prognostic biomarkers and pivotal signaling pathways in colon cancer and ulcerative colitis using integrated bioinformatics approach
Colon cancer is a prevalent gastrointestinal malignancy arising in the colon. Ulcerative colitis(UC) is one of the risk factors of colorectal cancer. The detection of under-expressed biomarkers and molecular mechanisms i…
Lesion-Aware Visual-Language Fusion for Automated Image Captioning of Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Examinations
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…
Image CaptioningOrdinal Multiple-instance Learning for Ulcerative Colitis Severity Estimation with Selective Aggregated Transformer
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 est…
Multiple Instance LearningDetecting ulcerative colitis from colon samples using efficient feature selection and machine learning
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 confirm…
