Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the development of convolutional neural networks (CNN) has achieved impressive advances within the field of machine learning, leading to an increase in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. AI networks have been trained for the detection of gastrointestinal lesions, but also for their characterization, obtaining excellent results and having a high overall diagnostic accuracy. Moreover, in recent decades, a great deal of attention has been focused on the development of AI systems for application in radiology and pathology for the improvement of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of many gastrointestinal diseases. Nevertheless, the real usefulness and application of AI systems in the gastroenterology field and high-quality studies comparing the performance of AI networks to health care professionals are still limited. This collection focuses on novel techniques and study reports of data analysis in the application of AI for the diagnosis of GI disease in real-time clinical settings, assessing the role of AI in daily clinical practice.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive tract disease, and most physicians use the Los Angeles classification and diagnose the severity of the disease to provide appropriate treatment. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, deep learning models have been used successfully to help physicians with clinical diagnosis. This study combines deep learning and machine learning techniques and proposes a two-stage process for endoscopic classification in GERD, including transfer learning techniques applied to the target dataset to extract more precise image features and machine learning algorithms to build the best classification model. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the GerdNet-RF model proposed in this work is better than that of previous studies. Test accuracy can be improved from 78.8% ± 8.5% to 92.5% ± 2.1%. By enhancing the automated diagnostic capabilities of AI models, patient health care will be more assured. Full article
