Automatic Evaluation of Inflammation Activity in Ulcerative Colitis Using pCLE With Artificial Intelligence
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is an endoscopic technique that enables to evaluate the inflammation activity of ulcerative colitis with excellent correlation with histopathology. However this requires much experience, which limits the application of pCLE. The investigators designed a computer-aided diagnosis program using deep neural network to make diagnosis automatically in pCLE examination and contrast its performance with endoscopists.

Colon mucosa observed by pCLE pCLE is used to evaluate the inflammation activity in different parts of the colon mucosa |
Diagnostic Test: The diagnosis of Artificial Intelligence and endoscopist
When the colon mucosa is observed using pCLE, endoscopist and AI will make a diagnosis independently. In addition, the endoscopist can not see the diagnosis of AI.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The diagnosis efficiency of Artificial Intelligence [3 months]
The primary outcome is to test the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV of the Artificial Intelligence for evaluation of inflammation activity of UC on pCLE examination.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Contrast the diagnosis efficiency of Artificial Intelligence with endoscopists [3 months]
The secondary outcome is to compare the diagnosis efficiency (including diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV ) between Artificial Intelligence and endoscopists.
