Abstract

Angiectasia, formerly called angiodysplasia, is one of the most frequent vascular lesions and often the cause of gastrointestinal bleedings. Medical specialists assessing videos of examinations reach a detection performance of 16% for the detection of bleeding to 69% for the detection of angiectasia. In this paper, we present several machine-learning-based approaches for angiectasia detection in wireless video capsule endoscopy images. The most promising results for pixel-wise localization and frame-wise detection are obtained by the proposed deep learning approach using generative adversarial networks (GANs) with a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 99.9% for pixel-wise localization and a sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 100% for frame-wise detection, which fits the requirements for automatic angiectasia detection in real clinical settings.
