Article Synopsis
- - Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of death globally, and early detection of polyps is crucial for reducing mortality and improving diagnostic efficiency.
- - This study introduces a complete validation framework and evaluates various techniques for detecting, segmenting, and classifying polyps, finding that most methods perform well in detection and segmentation but struggle with classification.
- - The research emphasizes the need for further advancements in polyp classification to support clinicians effectively during procedures, proposing a standardized method to assess and compare different approaches in the field.
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very frequent surgical procedure. However, in an ageing society, less surgical staff will need to perform surgery on patients. Collaborative surgical robots (cobots) could address surgical staff shortages and workload.

- - Formalizing surgical activities as triplets of instruments, actions, and target anatomies helps enhance the understanding of tool-tissue interactions, improving AI assistance in image-guided surgeries.
- - The CholecTriplet2022 challenge expands the previous work by adding weakly-supervised localization of surgical tools and modeling their activities as ‹instrument, verb, target› triplets.
- - The paper outlines a baseline method and presents 10 new deep learning algorithms, while also comparing their effectiveness and analyzing results to provide insights for future surgical research.

Purpose: 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 understanding metric-related pitfalls in image analysis problems, there is a lack of experimental evidence on the concrete effects of common and rare pitfalls on specific applications. We address this gap in the literature in the context of colon cancer screening.
