Title
Learning pit pattern concepts for gastroenterological training.
Abstract
In this article, we propose an approach to learn the characteristics of colonic mucosal surface structures, the so called pit patterns, commonly observed during high-magnification colonoscopy. Since the discrimination of the pit pattern types usually requires an experienced physician, an interesting question is whether we can automatically find a collection of images which most typically show a particular pit pattern characteristic. This is of considerable practical interest, since it is imperative for gastroenterological training to have a representative image set for the textbook descriptions of the pit patterns. Our approach exploits recent research on semantic image retrieval and annotation. This facilitates to learn a semantic space for the pit pattern concepts which eventually leads to a very natural formulation of our task.
