The study aims to develop a CNN model for detecting neoplastic lesions during real-time DSOC and clinically validate it against expert and nonexpert endoscopists. The results demonstrate that the CNN model achieved high accuracy in diagnosing neoplastic lesions and outperformed both nonexpert and expert endoscopists.
Background We aimed to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for detecting neoplastic lesions during real-time digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) and to clinically validate the model through comparisons with DSOC expert and nonexpert endoscopists.Methods In this two-stage study, we first developed and validated CNN1. Then, we performed a multicenter diagnostic trial to compare four DSOC experts and nonexperts against an improved model (CNN2). Lesions were classified into neoplastic and non-neoplastic in accordance with Carlos Robles-Medranda (CRM) and Mendoza disaggregated criteria. The final diagnosis of neoplasia was based on histopathology and 12-month follow-up outcomes.Results In stage I, CNN2 achieved a mean average precision of 0.88, an intersection over the union value of 83.24 %, and a total loss of 0.0975. For clinical validation, a total of 170 videos from newly included patients were analyzed with the CNN2. Half of cases (50 %) had neoplastic lesions. This model achieved significant accuracy values for neoplastic diagnosis, with a 90.5 % sensitivity, 68.2 % specificity, and 74.0 % and 87.8 % positive and negative predictive values, respectively. The CNN2 model outperformed nonexpert #2 (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]-CRM 0.657 vs. AUC-CNN2 0.794, P < 0.05; AUC-Mendoza 0.582 vs. AUC-CNN2 0.794, P < 0.05), nonexpert #4 (AUC-CRM 0.683 vs. AUC-CNN2 0.791, P < 0.05), and expert #4 (AUC-CRM 0.755 vs. AUC-CNN2 0.848, P < 0.05; AUC-Mendoza 0.753 vs. AUC-CNN2 0.848, P < 0.05).Conclusions The proposed CNN model distinguished neoplastic bile duct lesions with good accuracy and outperformed two nonexpert and one expert endoscopist.
