Abstract

Gastric cancer is becoming the second biggest cause of death from cancer. Treatment and prognosis of different types of gastric cancer vary greatly. However, the routine pathological examination is limited to the tissue level and is easily affected by subjective factors. In our study, we examined gastric mucosal samples from 50 normal tissue and 90 cancer tissues. Hyperspectral imaging technology was used to obtain spectral information. A two-classification model for normal tissue and cancer tissue identification and a four-classification model for cancer type identification are constructed based on the improved deep residual network (IDRN). The accuracy of the two-classification model and four-classification model are 0.947 and 0.965. Hyperspectral imaging technology was used to extract molecular information to realize real-time diagnosis and accurate typing. The results show that hyperspectral imaging technique has good effect on diagnosis and type differentiation of gastric cancer, which is expected to be used in auxiliary diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords: convolutional neural network; gastric cancer; hyper-spectral imaging; image classification; pathological diagnosis; spatial spectral association.
