Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining imaging

ML classifier

Differentiating epithelial tissue from stroma: AUC of 0.89 (MSI) and 0.95 (H & E); distinguishing dysplasia grade: AUC of 0.97 (MSI) and 0.85 (H & E); low-grade progressors and non-progressors: accuracy of 0.72 (MSI) and 0.48 (H & E).

H & E-based classifier excels in differentiating tissue types, while MSI-based model is more accurate in distinguishing dysplasia grade and risk of progression.

Depth Estimation Networks

Accuracy of phantom endoscopic videos for C & M and island measurements is 97.2%, with an average deviation of ±0.9 mm, while for BEA it is 98.4% with an average deviation of ±0.4 cm.

The quantification system can automatically measure C & M score, quantify Barrett’s epithelium area (BEA), and measure island area, enabling esophageal 3D reconstruction.
