Deep learning (DL) algorithms effectively detect vascular lesions in small bowel capsule endoscopy (CE), improving diagnostic performance and reducing reading time.
A machine learning (ML) classifier was used to enhance the DL algorithm's performance by categorizing vascular abnormalities and selecting the most relevant images for reporting.
The random forest (RF) method achieved high specificity (91.1%) and accuracy (84.2%) in distinguishing significant lesions while dramatically reducing the number of images reported, demonstrating potential for automated CE reporting without sacrificing diagnostic quality.
