Instruments Segmentation in X-ray Fluoroscopic Images for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 May 25:294:133-134. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220416.

Abstract

In this work, we propose a method to segment endoscope and guidewire from 2D X-ray fluoroscopic images of an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We used an improved U-Net model. We obtained a Dice score of 0.94±0.05 for endoscope segmentation and a Hausdorff distance of 24.26 pixels for the guidewire segmentation. These preliminary results pave the way for further applications aiming at aiding the medical procedure.

Keywords: ERCP; U-Net; X-Ray Fluoroscopy.
