J Zhejiang Univ Sci B. 2019;20(12):1014-1020. doi: 10.1631/jzus.B1900340.

Abstract

Endoscopy may be used for early screening of various cancers, such as nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and bladder cancer, and performing minimal invasive surgical procedures, such as laparoscopy surgery. During this procedure, an endoscope is used; it is a long, thin, rigid, or flexible tube having a light source and a camera at the tip, which facilitates visualization inside the affected organs on a screen and helps doctors in diagnosis.

Keywords: Endoscopic diagnosis; Detection and segmentation; Multi-class artifacts; Cascade R-CNN; PSPNet.
