ABSTRACT
Background:
Early gastric cancer (EGC) has a high survival rate, but it is difficult to diagnosis. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) based on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) has made significant progress in the field of gastroenterology. The purpose of this study was to establish a DCNN assist system to improve the detection of EGC.Methods:
3400 EGC and 8600 benign images were collected to train the DCNN to detect EGC. Subsequently, its diagnostic ability was compared to that of endoscopists using an independent internal test set (ITS, including 1289 images) and an external test set (ETS, including 542 images) come from three digestive center.Results:
The diagnostic time of DCNN and endoscopists were 0.028s, 8.05 ± 0.21s, 7.69 ± 0.25s in ITS, and 0.028s, 7.98 ± 0.19s, 7.50 ± 0.23s in ETS, respectively. In ITS, the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of DCNN are 88.08%(95% confidence interval,95%CI,85.24%-90.44%), 88.60% (95%CI,86.74%-90.22%), respectively. In ETS, the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy are 92.08% (95%CI, 87.91%- 94.94%),92.07%(95%CI, 89.46%-94.08%),respectively. DCNN outperformed all endoscopists in ETS, and had a significantly higher sensitivity than the junior endoscopists(JE)(by18.54% (95%CI, 15.64%-21.84%) in ITS, also higher than JE (by21.67%,95%CI, 16.90%-27.32%) and senior endoscopists (SE) (by2.08%, 95%CI, 0.75%-4.92%)in ETS. The accuracy of DCNN model was higher (by10.47%,95%CI, 8.91%-12.27%) than that of JE in ITS, and also higher (by14.58%,95%CI, 11.84%-17.81%; by 1.94%,95%CI,1.25%-2.96%, respectively) than JE and SE in ETS.Conclusion:
The DCNN can detected more EGC images in a shorter time than the endoscopists. It will become an effective tool to assist in the detection of EGC in the near future.
