Abstract
A system and method for assisting colonoscopic image diagnosis based on artificial intelligence include a processor, which is configured to analyze each video frame of a colonoscopic image using at least one medical image analysis algorithm and detects a finding suspected of being a lesion in the video frame. The processor calculates the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion. The processor generates display information, including whether the finding suspected of being a lesion is present and the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion.
Claims6
A colonoscopic image diagnosis assisting system for assisting diagnosis of a medical image, the colonoscopic image diagnosis assisting system comprising a computing system, wherein the computing system comprises:
- a receiving interface configured to receive a colonoscopic image as the medical image;
- memory or a database configured to store at least one medical image analysis algorithm having a function of analyzing the colonoscopic image;
- a processor;
- and
- a user display,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- analyze each video frame of the colonoscopic image using the at least one medical image analysis algorithm;
- detect a finding suspected of being a lesion in the video frame;
- calculate coordinates of a location of the finding suspected of being a lesion;
- and
- generate display information, including whether the finding suspected of being a lesion is present and the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion,
- wherein the user display is configured to display the finding suspected of being a lesion so that it is visually distinguished in the video frame based on the display information and display the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion so that they are visually associated with the finding suspected of being a lesion,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- track a location of the video frame indicative of a current examination region with respect to a colonoscopic path, by using the at least one medical image analysis algorithm;
- calculate the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion in the colonoscopic path based on the location of the video frame in the colonoscopic path and the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion;
- and
- generate display information, including whether the finding suspected of being a lesion is present, the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion, and the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion in the colonoscopic path, and
- wherein the user display is further configured to display the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion in the colonoscopic path so that it is visually associated with the finding suspected of being a lesion based on the display information.
A colonoscopic image diagnosis assisting method, the method being performed by a colonoscopic image diagnosis assisting system including a processor and a user display, the method comprising:
- receiving a colonoscopic image;
- analyzing, by the processor, each video frame of the colonoscopic image by using at least one medical image analysis algorithm having a function of analyzing the colonoscopic image stored in memory or a database in the colonoscopic image diagnosis assisting system, and detecting, by the processor, a finding suspected of being a lesion in the video frame;
- when the finding suspected of being a lesion is present in the video frame, calculating, by the processor, coordinates of a location of the finding suspected of being a lesion;
- generating, by the processor, display information, including whether the finding suspected of being a lesion is present and the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion;
- when the finding suspected of being a lesion is present in the video frame, displaying, by the user display, the finding suspected of being a lesion so that it is visually distinguished in the video frame based on the display information;
- tracking, by the processor, a location of the video frame indicative of a current examination region with respect to a colonoscopic path, by using the at least one medical image analysis algorithm;
- calculating, by the processor, a location of the finding suspected of being a lesion in the colonoscopic path;
- and
- displaying, by the user display, the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion so that they are visually associated with the finding suspected of being a lesion,
- wherein the generating comprises generating, by the processor, display information, including whether the finding suspected of being a lesion is present, the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion, and the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion in the colonoscopic path, and
- wherein the displaying the coordinates of the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion comprises displaying, by the user display, the location of the finding suspected of being a lesion in the colonoscopic path so that it is visually associated with the finding suspected of being a lesion based on the display information.
