    <title language="eng">Two-stage Approach for Low-dose and Sparse-angle CT Reconstruction using Backprojection</title>
    <abstract language="eng">This paper presents a novel two-stage approach for computed tomography (CT) reconstruction, focusing on sparse-angle and low-dose setups to minimize radiation exposure while maintaining high image quality. Two-stage approaches consist of an initial reconstruction followed by a neural network for image refinement. In the initial reconstruction, we apply the backprojection (BP) instead of the traditional filtered backprojection (FBP). This enhances computational speed and offers potential advantages for more complex geometries, such as fan-beam and cone-beam CT. Additionally, BP addresses noise and artifacts in sparse-angle CT by leveraging its inherent noise-smoothing effect, which reduces streaking artifacts common in FBP reconstructions. For the second stage, we fine-tune the DRUNet proposed by Zhang et al. to further improve reconstruction quality. We call our method BP-DRUNet and evaluate its performance on a synthetically generated ellipsoid dataset alongside thewell-established LoDoPaBCT dataset. Our results show that BP-DRUNet produces competetive results in terms of PSNR and SSIM metrics compared to the FBP-based counterpart, FBPDRUNet, and delivers visually competitive results across all tested angular setups.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Utility of Smartphone-based Three-dimensional Surface Imaging for Digital Facial Anthropometry</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background&#13;
The utilization of three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging for facial anthropometry is a significant asset for patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Notably, there have been recent advancements in smartphone technology that enable 3D surface imaging.&#13;
&#13;
In this study, anthropometric assessments of the face were performed using a smartphone and a sophisticated 3D surface imaging system.&#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
30 healthy volunteers (15 females and 15 males) were included in the study. An iPhone 14 Pro (Apple Inc., USA) using the application 3D Scanner App (Laan Consulting Corp., USA) and the Vectra M5 (Canfield Scientific, USA) were employed to create 3D surface models. For each participant, 19 anthropometric measurements were conducted on the 3D surface models. Subsequently, the anthropometric measurements generated by the two approaches were compared. The statistical techniques employed included the paired t-test, paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Bland–Altman analysis, and calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
All measurements showed excellent agreement between smartphone-based and Vectra M5-based measurements (ICC between 0.85 and 0.97). Statistical analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in the central tendencies for 17 of the 19 linear measurements. Despite the excellent agreement found, Bland–Altman analysis revealed that the 95% limits of agreement between the two methods exceeded ±3 mm for the majority of measurements.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion&#13;
Digital facial anthropometry using smartphones can serve as a valuable supplementary tool for surgeons, enhancing their communication with patients. However, the proposed data suggest that digital facial anthropometry using smartphones may not yet be suitable for certain diagnostic purposes that require high accuracy.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Vessel and tissue recognition during third-space endoscopy using a deep learning algorithm</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In this study, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence clinical decision support solution to mitigate operator-dependent limitations during complex endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and peroral endoscopic myotomy, for example, bleeding and perforation. A DeepLabv3-based model was trained to delineate vessels, tissue structures and instruments on endoscopic still images from such procedures. The mean cross-validated Intersection over Union and Dice Score were 63% and 76%, respectively. Applied to standardised video clips from third-space endoscopic procedures, the algorithm showed a mean vessel detection rate of 85% with a false-positive rate of 0.75/min. These performance statistics suggest a potential clinical benefit for procedure safety, time and also training.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Towards a Reliable and Rapid Automated Grading System in Facial Palsy Patients: Facial Palsy Surgery Meets Computer Science</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background: &#13;
Reliable, time- and cost-effective, and clinician-friendly diagnostic tools are cornerstones in facial palsy (FP) patient management. Different automated FP grading systems have been developed but revealed persisting downsides such as insufficient accuracy and cost-intensive hardware. We aimed to overcome these barriers and programmed an automated grading system for FP patients utilizing the House and Brackmann scale (HBS). &#13;
Methods: &#13;
Image datasets of 86 patients seen at the Department of Plastic, Hand, and Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital Regensburg, Germany, between June 2017 and May 2021, were used to train the neural network and evaluate its accuracy. Nine facial poses per patient were analyzed by the algorithm. &#13;
Results: &#13;
The algorithm showed an accuracy of 100%. Oversampling did not result in altered outcomes, while the direct form displayed superior accuracy levels when compared to the modular classification form (n = 86; 100% vs. 99%). The Early Fusion technique was linked to improved accuracy outcomes in comparison to the Late Fusion and sequential method (n = 86; 100% vs. 96% vs. 97%). &#13;
Conclusions: &#13;
Our automated FP grading system combines high-level accuracy with cost- and time-effectiveness. Our algorithm may accelerate the grading process in FP patients and facilitate the FP surgeon’s workflow.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">A survey on Barrett's esophagus analysis using machine learning</title>
    <abstract language="eng">This work presents a systematic review concerning recent studies and technologies of machine learning for Barrett's esophagus (BE) diagnosis and treatment. The use of artificial intelligence is a brand new and promising way to evaluate such disease. We compile some works published at some well-established databases, such as Science Direct, IEEEXplore, PubMed, Plos One, Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), Springer, and Hindawi Publishing Corporation. Each selected work has been analyzed to present its objective, methodology, and results. The BE progression to dysplasia or adenocarcinoma shows a complex pattern to be detected during endoscopic surveillance. Therefore, it is valuable to assist its diagnosis and automatic identification using computer analysis. The evaluation of the BE dysplasia can be performed through manual or automated segmentation through machine learning techniques. Finally, in this survey, we reviewed recent studies focused on the automatic detection of the neoplastic region for classification purposes using machine learning methods.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">GinJinn: An object-detection pipeline for automated feature extraction from herbarium specimens</title>
    <abstract language="eng">PREMISE: &#13;
The generation of morphological data in evolutionary, taxonomic, and ecological studies of plants using herbarium material has traditionally been a labor-intensive task. Recent progress in machine learning using deep artificial neural networks (deep learning) for image classification and object detection has facilitated the establishment of a pipeline for the automatic recognition and extraction of relevant structures in images of herbarium specimens.&#13;
&#13;
METHODS AND RESULTS: &#13;
We implemented an extendable pipeline based on state-of-the-art deep-learning object-detection methods to collect leaf images from herbarium specimens of two species of the genus Leucanthemum. Using 183 specimens as the training data set, our pipeline extracted one or more intact leaves in 95% of the 61 test images.&#13;
&#13;
CONCLUSIONS:&#13;
We establish GinJinn as a deep-learning object-detection tool for the automatic recognition and extraction of individual leaves or other structures from herbarium specimens. Our pipeline offers greater flexibility and a lower entrance barrier than previous image-processing approaches based on hand-crafted features.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">A technical review of artificial intelligence as applied to gastrointestinal endoscopy: clarifying the terminology</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The growing number of publications on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine underlines the enormous importance and potential of this emerging field of research.&#13;
&#13;
In gastrointestinal endoscopy, AI has been applied to all segments of the gastrointestinal tract most importantly in the detection and characterization of colorectal polyps. However, AI research has been published also in the stomach and esophagus for both neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders.&#13;
&#13;
The various technical as well as medical aspects of AI, however, remain confusing especially for non-expert physicians.&#13;
&#13;
This physician-engineer co-authored review explains the basic technical aspects of AI and provides a comprehensive overview of recent publications on AI in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Finally, a basic insight is offered into understanding publications on AI in gastrointestinal endoscopy.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">The Impact of Semi-Automated Segmentation and 3D Analysis on Testing New Osteosynthesis Material</title>
    <abstract language="eng">A new protocol for testing osteosynthesis material postoperatively combining semi-automated segmentation and 3D analysis of surface meshes is proposed. By various steps of transformation and measuring, objective data can be collected. In this study the specifications of a locking plate used for mediocarpal arthrodesis of the wrist were examined. The results show, that union of the lunate, triquetrum, hamate and capitate was achieved and that the plate is comparable to coexisting arthrodesis systems. Additionally, it was shown, that the complications detected correlate to the clinical outcome. In synopsis, this protocol is considered beneficial and should be taken into account in further studies.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Influence of artificial intelligence on the diagnostic performance of endoscopists in the assessment of Barrett’s esophagus: a tandem randomized and video trial</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background &#13;
This study evaluated the effect of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision support system on the performance and diagnostic confidence of endoscopists in their assessment of Barrett’s esophagus (BE).&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
96 standardized endoscopy videos were assessed by 22 endoscopists with varying degrees of BE experience from 12 centers. Assessment was randomized into two video sets: group A (review first without AI and second with AI) and group B (review first with AI and second without AI). Endoscopists were required to evaluate each video for the presence of Barrett’s esophagus-related neoplasia (BERN) and then decide on a spot for a targeted biopsy. After the second assessment, they were allowed to change their clinical decision and confidence level.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
AI had a stand-alone sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 92.2%, 68.9%, and 81.3%, respectively. Without AI, BE experts had an overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 83.3%, 58.1%, and 71.5%, respectively. With AI, BE nonexperts showed a significant improvement in sensitivity and specificity when videos were assessed a second time with AI (sensitivity 69.8% [95%CI 65.2%–74.2%] to 78.0% [95%CI 74.0%–82.0%]; specificity 67.3% [95%CI 62.5%–72.2%] to 72.7% [95%CI 68.2%–77.3%]). In addition, the diagnostic confidence of BE nonexperts improved significantly with AI.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion &#13;
BE nonexperts benefitted significantly from additional AI. BE experts and nonexperts remained significantly below the stand-alone performance of AI, suggesting that there may be other factors influencing endoscopists’ decisions to follow or discard AI advice.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Early Esophageal Cancer and the Generalizability of Artificial Intelligence</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in gastrointestinal endoscopy are narrow because they are trained to solve only one specific task. Unlike Narrow-AI, general AI systems may be able to solve multiple and unrelated tasks. We aimed to understand whether an AI system trained to detect, characterize, and segment early Barrett’s neoplasia (Barrett’s AI) is only capable of detecting this pathology or can also detect and segment other diseases like early squamous cell cancer (SCC).&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
120 white light (WL) and narrow-band endoscopic images (NBI) from 60 patients (1 WL and 1 NBI image per patient) were extracted from the endoscopic database of the University Hospital Augsburg. Images were annotated by three expert endoscopists with extensive experience in the diagnosis and endoscopic resection of early esophageal neoplasias. An AI system based on DeepLabV3+architecture dedicated to early Barrett’s neoplasia was tested on these images. The AI system was neither trained with SCC images nor had it seen the test images prior to evaluation. The overlap between the three expert annotations („expert-agreement“) was the ground truth for evaluating AI performance.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
Barrett’s AI detected early SCC with a mean intersection over reference (IoR) of 92% when at least 1 pixel of the AI prediction overlapped with the expert-agreement. When the threshold was increased to 5%, 10%, and 20% overlap with the expert-agreement, the IoR was 88%, 85% and 82%, respectively. The mean Intersection Over Union (IoU) – a metric according to segmentation quality between the AI prediction and the expert-agreement – was 0.45. The mean expert IoU as a measure of agreement between the three experts was 0.60.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
In the context of this pilot study, the predictions of SCC by a Barrett’s dedicated AI showed some overlap to the expert-agreement. Therefore, features learned from Barrett’s cancer-related training might be helpful also for SCC prediction. Our results allow different possible explanations. On the one hand, some Barrett’s cancer features generalize toward the related task of assessing early SCC. On the other hand, the Barrett’s AI is less specific to Barrett’s cancer than a general predictor of pathological tissue. However, we expect to enhance the detection quality significantly by extending the training to SCC-specific data. The insight of this study opens the way towards a transfer learning approach for more efficient training of AI to solve tasks in other domains.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Artificial Intelligence (AI) improves endoscopists’ vessel detection during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
While AI has been successfully implemented in detecting and characterizing colonic polyps, its role in therapeutic endoscopy remains to be elucidated. Especially third space endoscopy procedures like ESD and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) pose a technical challenge and the risk of operator-dependent complications like intraprocedural bleeding and perforation. Therefore, we aimed at developing an AI-algorithm for intraprocedural real time vessel detection during ESD and POEM.&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
A training dataset consisting of 5470 annotated still images from 59 full-length videos (47 ESD, 12 POEM) and 179681 unlabeled images was used to train a DeepLabV3+neural network with the ECMT semi-supervised learning method. Evaluation for vessel detection rate (VDR) and time (VDT) of 19 endoscopists with and without AI-support was performed using a testing dataset of 101 standardized video clips with 200 predefined blood vessels. Endoscopists were stratified into trainees and experts in third space endoscopy.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
The AI algorithm had a mean VDR of 93.5% and a median VDT of 0.32 seconds. AI support was associated with a statistically significant increase in VDR from 54.9% to 73.0% and from 59.0% to 74.1% for trainees and experts, respectively. VDT significantly decreased from 7.21 sec to 5.09 sec for trainees and from 6.10 sec to 5.38 sec for experts in the AI-support group. False positive (FP) readings occurred in 4.5% of frames. FP structures were detected significantly shorter than true positives (0.71 sec vs. 5.99 sec).&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
AI improved VDR and VDT of trainees and experts in third space endoscopy and may reduce performance variability during training. Further research is needed to evaluate the clinical impact of this new technology.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Artificial intelligence as a tool in the detection of the papillary ostium during ERCP</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) is the gold standard in the diagnosis as well as treatment of diseases of the pancreatobiliary tract. However, it is technically complex and has a relatively high complication rate. In particular, cannulation of the papillary ostium remains challenging. The aim of this study is to examine whether a deep-learning algorithm can be used to detect the major duodenal papilla and in particular the papillary ostium reliably and could therefore be a valuable tool for inexperienced endoscopists, particularly in training situation.&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
We analyzed a total of 654 retrospectively collected images of 85 patients. Both the major duodenal papilla and the ostium were then segmented. Afterwards, a neural network was trained using a deep-learning algorithm. A 5-fold cross-validation was performed. Subsequently, we ran the algorithm on 5 prospectively collected videos of ERCPs.&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
5-fold cross-validation on the 654 labeled data resulted in an F1 value of 0.8007, a sensitivity of 0.8409 and a specificity of 0.9757 for the class papilla, and an F1 value of 0.5724, a sensitivity of 0.5456 and a specificity of 0.9966 for the class ostium. Regardless of the class, the average F1 value (class papilla and class ostium) was 0.6866, the sensitivity 0.6933 and the specificity 0.9861. In 100% of cases the AI-detected localization of the papillary ostium in the prospectively collected videos corresponded to the localization of the cannulation performed by the endoscopist.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
In the present study, the neural network was able to identify the major duodenal papilla with a high sensitivity and high specificity. In detecting the papillary ostium, the sensitivity was notably lower. However, when used on videos, the AI was able to identify the location of the subsequent cannulation with 100% accuracy. In the future, the neural network will be trained with more data. Thus, a suitable tool for ERCP could be established, especially in the training situation.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Procedural phase recognition in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using artificial intelligence (AI)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Recent evidence suggests the possibility of intraprocedural phase recognition in surgical operations as well as endoscopic interventions such as peroral endoscopic myotomy and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) by AI-algorithms. The intricate measurement of intraprocedural phase distribution may deepen the understanding of the procedure. Furthermore, real-time quality assessment as well as automation of reporting may become possible. Therefore, we aimed to develop an AI-algorithm for intraprocedural phase recognition during ESD.&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
A training dataset of 364385 single images from 9 full-length ESD videos was compiled. Each frame was classified into one procedural phase. Phases included scope manipulation, marking, injection, application of electrical current and bleeding. Allocation of each frame was only possible to one category. This training dataset was used to train a Video Swin transformer to recognize the phases. Temporal information was included via logarithmic frame sampling. Validation was performed using two separate ESD videos with 29801 single frames.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
The validation yielded sensitivities of 97.81%, 97.83%, 95.53%, 85.01% and 87.55% for scope manipulation, marking, injection, electric application and bleeding, respectively. Specificities of 77.78%, 90.91%, 95.91%, 93.65% and 84.76% were measured for the same parameters.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
The developed algorithm was able to classify full-length ESD videos on a frame-by-frame basis into the predefined classes with high sensitivities and specificities. Future research will aim at the development of quality metrics based on single-operator phase distribution.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Performance comparison of a deep learning algorithm with endoscopists in the detection of duodenal villous atrophy (VA)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
VA is an endoscopic finding of celiac disease (CD), which can easily be missed if pretest probability is low. In this study, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for the detection of villous atrophy on endoscopic images.&#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
858 images from 182 patients with VA and 846 images from 323 patients with normal duodenal mucosa were used for training and internal validation of an AI algorithm (ResNet18). A separate dataset was used for external validation, as well as determination of detection performance of experts, trainees and trainees with AI support. According to the AI consultation distribution, images were stratified into “easy” and “difficult”.&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
Internal validation showed 82%, 85% and 84% for sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. External validation showed 90%, 76% and 84%. The algorithm was significantly more sensitive and accurate than trainees, trainees with AI support and experts in endoscopy. AI support in trainees was associated with significantly improved performance. While all endoscopists showed significantly lower detection for “difficult” images, AI performance remained stable.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions&#13;
The algorithm outperformed trainees and experts in sensitivity and accuracy for VA detection. The significant improvement with AI support suggests a potential clinical benefit. Stable performance of the algorithm in “easy” and “difficult” test images may indicate an advantage in macroscopically challenging cases.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Single frame workflow recognition during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using artificial intelligence (AI)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Precise surgical phase recognition and evaluation may improve our understanding of complex endoscopic procedures. Furthermore, quality control measurements and endoscopy training could benefit from objective descriptions of surgical phase distributions. Therefore, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm for frame-by-frame operational phase recognition during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
Full length ESD-videos from 31 patients comprising 6.297.782 single images were collected retrospectively. Videos were annotated on a frame-by-frame basis for the operational macro-phases diagnostics, marking, injection, dissection and bleeding. Further subphases were the application of electrical current, visible injection of fluid into the submucosal space and scope manipulation, leading to 11 phases in total. 4.975.699 frames (21 patients) were used for training of a video swin transformer using uniform frame sampling for temporal information. Hyperparameter tuning was performed with 897.325 further frames (6 patients), while 424.758 frames (4 patients) were used for validation.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
The overall F1 scores on the test dataset for the macro-phases and all 11 phases were 0.96 and 0.90, respectively. The recall values for diagnostics, marking, injection, dissection and bleeding were 1.00, 1.00, 0.95, 0.96 and 0.93, respectively.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
The algorithm classified operational phases during ESD with high accuracy. A precise evaluation of phase distribution may allow for the development of objective quality metrics for quality control and training.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Human-Computer Interaction: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the diagnostic confidence of endoscopists assessing videos of Barrett’s esophagus</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Human-computer interactions (HCI) may have a relevant impact on the performance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Studies show that although endoscopists assessing Barrett’s esophagus (BE) with AI improve their performance significantly, they do not achieve the level of the stand-alone performance of AI. One aspect of HCI is the impact of AI on the degree of certainty and confidence displayed by the endoscopist. Indirectly, diagnostic confidence when using AI may be linked to trust and acceptance of AI. In a BE video study, we aimed to understand the impact of AI on the diagnostic confidence of endoscopists and the possible correlation with diagnostic performance.&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
22 endoscopists from 12 centers with varying levels of BE experience reviewed ninety-six standardized endoscopy videos. Endoscopists were categorized into experts and non-experts and randomly assigned to assess the videos with and without AI. Participants were randomized in two arms: Arm A assessed videos first without AI and then with AI, while Arm B assessed videos in the opposite order. Evaluators were tasked with identifying BE-related neoplasia and rating their confidence with and without AI on a scale from 0 to 9.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
The utilization of AI in Arm A (without AI first, with AI second) significantly elevated confidence levels for experts and non-experts (7.1 to 8.0 and 6.1 to 6.6, respectively). Only non-experts benefitted from AI with a significant increase in accuracy (68.6% to 75.5%). Interestingly, while the confidence levels of experts without AI were higher than those of non-experts with AI, there was no significant difference in accuracy between these two groups (71.3% vs. 75.5%). In Arm B (with AI first, without AI second), experts and non-experts experienced a significant reduction in confidence (7.6 to 7.1 and 6.4 to 6.2, respectively), while maintaining consistent accuracy levels (71.8% to 71.8% and 67.5% to 67.1%, respectively).&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
AI significantly enhanced confidence levels for both expert and non-expert endoscopists. Endoscopists felt significantly more uncertain in their assessments without AI. Furthermore, experts with or without AI consistently displayed higher confidence levels than non-experts with AI, irrespective of comparable outcomes. These findings underscore the possible role of AI in improving diagnostic confidence during endoscopic assessment.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Künstliche Intelligenz als Hilfsmittel zur Detektion der Papilla duodeni major und des papillären Ostiums während der ERCP</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Einleitung &#13;
Die Endoskopische Retrograde Cholangiopankreatikographie (ERCP) ist der Goldstandard in der endoskopischen Therapie von Erkrankungen des pankreatobiliären Trakts. Allerdings ist sie technisch anspruchsvoll, schwer zu erlernen und mit einer relativ hohen Komplikationsrate assoziiert. Daher soll in der vorliegenden Machbarkeitsstudie geprüft werden, ob mithilfe eines Deeplearning- Algorithmus die Papille und das Ostium zuverlässig detektiert werden können und dieser für Endoskopiker, insbesondere in der Ausbildungssituation, ein geeignetes Hilfsmittel darstellen könnte. Material und Methodik Insgesamt wurden 1534 ERCP-Bilder von 134 Patienten analysiert, wobei sowohl die Papilla duodeni major als auch das Ostium segmentiert wurden. Anschließend erfolgte das Training eines neuronalen Netzes unter Verwendung eines Deep-Learning-Algorithmus. Für den Test des Algorithmus erfolgte eine fünffache Kreuzvalidierung.&#13;
&#13;
Ergebnisse &#13;
Auf den 1534 gelabelten Bildern wurden für die Klasse Papille ein F1-Wert von 0,7996, eine Sensitivität von 0,8488 und eine Spezifität von 0,9822 erzielt. Für die Klasse Ostium ergaben sich ein F1-Wert von 0,5198, eine Sensitivität von 0,5945 und eine Spezifität von 0,9974. Klassenübergreifend (Klasse Papille und Klasse Ostium) betrug der F1-Wert 0,6593, die Sensitivität 0,7216 und für die Spezifität 0,9898.&#13;
&#13;
Zusammenfassung &#13;
In der vorliegenden Machbarkeitsstudie zeigte das neuronale Netz eine hohe Sensitivität und eine sehr hohe Spezifität bei der Identifikation der Papilla duodeni major. Die Detektion des Ostiums erfolgte hingegen mit einer deutlich geringeren Sensitivität. Zukünftig ist eine Erweiterung des Trainingsdatensatzes um Videos und klinische Daten vorgesehen, um die Leistungsfähigkeit des Netzwerks zu verbessern. Hierdurch könnte langfristig ein geeignetes Assistenzsystem für die ERCP, insbesondere in der Ausbildungssituation etabliert werden.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) of metals using advanced BrainMet techniques for biomedical research</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) is a young innovative analytical technique and combines different fields of advanced mass spectrometry and biomedical research with the aim to provide maps of elements and molecules, complexes or fragments. Especially essential metals such as zinc, copper, iron and manganese play a functional role in signaling, metabolism and homeostasis of the cell. Due to the high degree of spatial organization of metals in biological systems their distribution analysis is of key interest in life sciences. We have developed analytical techniques termed BrainMet using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) imaging to measure the distribution of trace metals in biological tissues for biomedical research and feasibility studies—including bioaccumulation and bioavailability studies, ecological risk assessment and toxicity studies in humans and other organisms. The analytical BrainMet techniques provide quantitative images of metal distributions in brain tissue slices which can be combined with other imaging modalities such as photomicrography of native or processed tissue (histochemistry, immunostaining) and autoradiography or with in vivo techniques such as positron emission tomography or magnetic resonance tomography.&#13;
&#13;
Prospective and instrumental developments will be discussed concerning the development of the metalloprotein microscopy using a laser microdissection (LMD) apparatus for specific sample introduction into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LMD-ICP-MS) or an application of the near field effect in LA-ICP-MS (NF-LA-ICP-MS). These nano-scale mass spectrometric techniques provide improved spatial resolution down to the single cell level.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Bioimaging of metals in brain tissue by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and metallomics</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been developed and established as an emerging technique in the generation of quantitative images of metal distributions in thin tissue sections of brain samples (such as human, rat and mouse brain), with applications in research related to neurodegenerative disorders. A new analytical protocol is described which includes sample preparation by cryo-cutting of thin tissue sections and matrix-matched laboratory standards, mass spectrometric measurements, data acquisition, and quantitative analysis. Specific examples of the bioimaging of metal distributions in normal rodent brains are provided. Differences to the normal were assessed in a Parkinson’s disease and a stroke brain model. Furthermore, changes during normal aging were studied. Powerful analytical techniques are also required for the determination and characterization of metal-containing proteins within a large pool of proteins, e.g., after denaturing or non-denaturing electrophoretic separation of proteins in one-dimensional and two-dimensional gels. LA-ICP-MS can be employed to detect metalloproteins in protein bands or spots separated after gel electrophoresis. MALDI-MS can then be used to identify specific metal-containing proteins in these bands or spots. The combination of these techniques is described in the second section.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">IMAGENA: Image Generation and Analysis</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Metals are involved in many processes of life. They are needed for enzymatic reactions, are involved in healthy processes but also yield diseases if the metal homeostasis is disordered. Therefore, the interest to assess the spatial distribution of metals is rising in biomedical science. Imaging metal (and non-metal) isotopes by laser ablation mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (LA-ICP-MS) requires a special software solution to process raw data obtained by scanning a sample line-by-line. As no software ready to use was available we developed an interactive software tool for Image Generation and Analysis (IMAGENA). Unless optimised for LA-ICP-MS, IMAGENA can handle other raw data as well. The general purpose was to reconstruct images from a continuous list of raw data points, to visualise these images, and to convert them into a commonly readable image file format that can be further analysed by standard image analysis software. The generation of the image starts with loading a text file that holds a data column of every measured isotope. Specifying general spatial domain settings like the data offset and the image dimensions is done by the user getting a direct feedback by means of a preview image. IMAGENA provides tools for calibration and to correct for a signal drift in the y-direction. Images are visualised in greyscale as well a pseudo-colours with possibilities for contrast enhancement. Image analysis is performed in terms of smoothed line plots in row and column direction.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Signal enhancement in polarized light imaging by means of independent component analysis</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Polarized light imaging (PLI) enables the evaluation of fiber orientations in histological sections of human postmortem brains, with ultra-high spatial resolution. PLI is based on the birefringent properties of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers. As a result, the polarization state of light propagating through a rotating polarimeter is changed in such a way that the detected signal at each measurement unit of a charged-coupled device (CCD) camera describes a sinusoidal signal. Vectors of the fiber orientation defined by inclination and direction angles can then directly be derived from the optical signals employing PLI analysis. However, noise, light scatter and filter inhomogeneities interfere with the original sinusoidal PLI signals. We here introduce a novel method using independent component analysis (ICA) to decompose the PLI images into statistically independent component maps. After decomposition, gray and white matter structures can clearly be distinguished from noise and other artifacts. The signal enhancement after artifact rejection is quantitatively evaluated in 134 histological whole brain sections. Thus, the primary sinusoidal signals from polarized light imaging can be effectively restored after noise and artifact rejection utilizing ICA. Our method therefore contributes to the analysis of nerve fiber orientation in the human brain within a micrometer scale.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Towards ultra-high resolution fibre tract mapping of the human brain</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Polarised light imaging (PLI) utilises the birefringence of the myelin sheaths in order to visualise the orientation of nerve fibres in microtome sections of adult human post-mortem brains at ultra-high spatial resolution. The preparation of post-mortem brains for PLI involves fixation, freezing and cutting into 100-μm-thick sections. Hence, geometrical distortions of histological sections are inevitable and have to be removed for 3D reconstruction and subsequent fibre tracking. We here present a processing pipeline for 3D reconstruction of these sections using PLI derived multimodal images of post-mortem brains. Blockface images of the brains were obtained during cutting; they serve as reference data for alignment and elimination of distortion artefacts. In addition to the spatial image transformation, fibre orientation vectors were reoriented using the transformation fields, which consider both affine and subsequent non-linear registration. The application of this registration and reorientation approach results in a smooth fibre vector field, which reflects brain morphology. PLI combined with 3D reconstruction and fibre tracking is a powerful tool for human brain mapping. It can also serve as an independent method for evaluating in vivo fibre tractography.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Novel Approach to the Human Connectome</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Signal transmission between different brain regions requires connecting fiber tracts, the structural basis of the human connectome. In contrast to animal brains, where a multitude of tract tracing methods can be used, magnetic resonance (MR)-based diffusion imaging is presently the only promising approach to study fiber tracts between specific human brain regions. However, this procedure has various inherent restrictions caused by its relatively low spatial resolution. Here, we introduce 3D-polarized light imaging (3D-PLI) to map the three-dimensional course of fiber tracts in the human brain with a resolution at a submillimeter scale based on a voxel size of 100 μm isotropic or less. 3D-PLI demonstrates nerve fibers by utilizing their intrinsic birefringence of myelin sheaths surrounding axons. This optical method enables the demonstration of 3D fiber orientations in serial microtome sections of entire human brains. Examples for the feasibility of this novel approach are given here. 3D-PLI enables the study of brain regions of intense fiber crossing in unprecedented detail, and provides an independent evaluation of fiber tracts derived from diffusion imaging data.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Convolutional Neural Networks for the evaluation of cancer in Barrett’s esophagus: Explainable AI to lighten up the black-box</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Even though artificial intelligence and machine learning have demonstrated remarkable performances in medical image computing, their level of accountability and transparency must be provided in such evaluations. The reliability related to machine learning predictions must be explained and interpreted, especially if diagnosis support is addressed. For this task, the black-box nature of deep learning techniques must be lightened up to transfer its promising results into clinical practice. Hence, we aim to investigate the use of explainable artificial intelligence techniques to quantitatively highlight discriminative regions during the classification of earlycancerous tissues in Barrett’s esophagus-diagnosed patients. Four Convolutional Neural Network models (AlexNet, SqueezeNet, ResNet50, and VGG16) were analyzed using five different interpretation techniques (saliency, guided backpropagation, integrated gradients, input × gradients, and DeepLIFT) to compare their agreement with experts’ previous annotations of cancerous tissue. We could show that saliency attributes match best with the manual experts’ delineations. Moreover, there is moderate to high correlation between the sensitivity of a model and the human-and-computer agreement. The results also lightened that the higher the model’s sensitivity, the stronger the correlation of human and computational segmentation agreement. We observed a relevant relation between computational learning and experts’ insights, demonstrating how human knowledge may influence the correct computational learning.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Color Texture Classification by Integrative Co-Occurrence Matrices</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Integrative Co-occurrence matrices are introduced as novel features for color texture classification. The extended Co-occurrence notation allows the comparison between integrative and parallel color texture concepts. The information profit of the new matrices is shown quantitatively using the Kolmogorov distance and by extensive classification experiments on two datasets. Applying them to the RGB and the LUV color space the combined color and intensity textures are studied and the existence of intensity independent pure color patterns is demonstrated. The results are compared with two baselines: gray-scale texture analysis and color histogram analysis. The novel features improve the classification results up to 20% and 32% for the first and second baseline, respectively.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Artificial Intelligence in Early Barrett's Cancer: The Segmentation Task</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims:&#13;
The delineation of outer margins of early Barrett's cancer can be challenging even for experienced endoscopists. Artificial intelligence (AI) could assist endoscopists faced with this task. As of date, there is very limited experience in this domain. In this study, we demonstrate the measure of overlap (Dice coefficient = D) between highly experienced Barrett endoscopists and an AI system in the delineation of cancer margins (segmentation task).&#13;
&#13;
Methods:&#13;
An AI system with a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained and tested on high-definition endoscopic images of early Barrett's cancer (n = 33) and normal Barrett's mucosa (n = 41). The reference standard for the segmentation task were the manual delineations of tumor margins by three highly experienced Barrett endoscopists. Training of the AI system included patch generation, patch augmentation and adjustment of the CNN weights. Then, the segmentation results from patch classification and thresholding of the class probabilities. Segmentation results were evaluated using the Dice coefficient (D).&#13;
&#13;
Results:&#13;
The Dice coefficient (D) which can range between 0 (no overlap) and 1 (complete overlap) was computed only for images correctly classified by the AI-system as cancerous. At a threshold of t = 0.5, a mean value of D = 0.72 was computed.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions:&#13;
AI with CNN performed reasonably well in the segmentation of the tumor region in Barrett's cancer, at least when compared with expert Barrett's endoscopists. AI holds a lot of promise as a tool for better visualization of tumor margins but may need further improvement and enhancement especially in real-time settings.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Nutzung eines Farbkonstanz-Algorithmus zur Entfernung von Glanzlichtern in laryngoskopischen Bildern</title>
    <abstract language="deu">1 Einführung &#13;
Funktionelle und organische Störungen im Larynx beeinträchtigen die Ausdrucksfähigkeit des Menschen. Zur Diagnostik und Verlaufkontrolle werden die Stimmlippen im Larynx mit Hilfe der Video-Laryngoskopie aufgenommen. Zur optimalen Farbmessung wird dazu an das Lupenendoskop eine 3-Chip-CCD-Kamera angeschlossen, die eine unabhängige Aufnahme der drei Farbkanäle erlaubt. Die bisherige subjektive Befundung ist von der Erfahrung des Untersuchers abhängig und läßt nur eine grobe Klassifikation der Krankheitsbilder zu. Zur Objektivierung werden daher quantitative Parameter für Farbe, Textur und Schwingung entwickelt. Neben dem Einfluß der wechselnden Lichtquellenfarbe auf den Farbeindruck ist die Sekretauflage auf den Stimmlippen ein Problem bei der Farb-und Texturanalyse. Sie kann zu ausgedehnten Glanzlichtern führen und so weite Bereiche der Stimmlippen für die Farb-und Texturanalyse unbrauchbar machen. Dieser Beitrag stellt einen Farbkonstanz-Algorithmus vor, der unabhängig von der Lichtquelle quantitative Farbwerte des Gewebes liefert und die Glanzlichtdetektion und -elimination ermöglicht. &#13;
2 Methodik &#13;
Ziel des Farbkonstanz-Algorithmus ist die Trennung von Lichtquellen-und Gewebefarbe. Unter Verwendung des dichromatischen Reflexionsmodells [1] kann die Oberflächenreflexion mit der Farbe der Lichtquelle und die Körperreflexion mit der Gewebefarbe identifiziert werden. Der Farbeindruck entsteht aus der Linearkombination beider Farbkomponenten. Ihre Gewichtung ist von der Aufnahmegeometrie abhängig, insbesondere vom Winkel zwischen Oberflächennormalen und dem Positionsvektor der Lichtquelle. In einem zweistufigen Verfahren wird zunächst die Lichtquellenfarbe geschätzt, dann die Gewebefarbe ermittelt. Hieraus können beide Farbanteile durch die Berechnung der Gewichtsfaktoren pixelweise getrennt werden.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Semantic Lung Segmentation Using Convolutional Neural Networks</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Chest X-Ray (CXR) images as part of a non-invasive diagnosis method are commonly used in today’s medical workflow. In traditional methods, physicians usually use their experience to interpret CXR images, however, there is a large interobserver variance. Computer vision may be used as a standard for assisted diagnosis. In this study, we applied an encoder-decoder neural network architecture for automatic lung region detection. We compared a three-class approach (left lung, right lung, background) and a two-class approach (lung, background). The differentiation of left and right lungs as direct result of a semantic segmentation on basis of neural nets rather than post-processing a lung-background segmentation is done here for the first time. Our evaluation was done on the NIH Chest X-ray dataset, from which 1736 images were extracted and manually annotated. We achieved 94:9% mIoU and 92% mIoU as segmentation quality measures for the two-class-model and the three-class-model, respectively. This result is very promising for the segmentation of lung regions having the simultaneous classification of left and right lung in mind.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Synthesis of Medical Images Using GANs</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The success of artificial intelligence in medicine is based on the need for large amounts of high quality training data. Sharing of medical image data, however, is often restricted by laws such as doctor-patient confidentiality. Although there are publicly available medical datasets, their quality and quantity are often low. Moreover, datasets are often imbalanced and only represent a fraction of the images generated in hospitals or clinics and can thus usually only be used as training data for specific problems. The introduction of generative adversarial networks (GANs) provides a mean to generate artificial images by training two convolutional networks. This paper proposes a method which uses GANs trained on medical images in order to generate a large number of artificial images that could be used to train other artificial intelligence algorithms. This work is a first step towards alleviating data privacy concerns and being able to publicly share data that still contains a substantial amount of the information in the original private data. The method has been evaluated on several public datasets and quantitative and qualitative tests showing promising results.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Retrospective Color Shading Correction for Endoscopic Images</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In this paper, we address the problem of retrospective color shading correction. An extension of the established gray-level shading correction algorithm based on signal envelope (SE) estimation to color images is developed using principal color components. Compared to the probably most general shading correction algorithm based on entropy minimization, SE estimation does not need any computationally expensive optimization and thus can be implemented more effciently. We tested our new shading correction scheme on artificial as well as real endoscopic images and observed promising results. Additionally, an indepth analysis of the stop criterion used in the SE estimation algorithm is provided leading to the conclusion that a fixed, user-defined threshold is generally not feasible. Thus, we present new ideas how to develop a non-parametric version of the SE estimation algorithm using entropy.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Real-time use of artificial intelligence in the evaluation of cancer in Barrett’s oesophagus</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Based on previous work by our group with manual annotation of visible Barrett oesophagus (BE) cancer images, a real-time deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) system was developed. While an expert endoscopist conducts the endoscopic assessment of BE, our AI system captures random images from the real-time camera livestream and provides a global prediction (classification), as well as a dense prediction (segmentation) differentiating accurately between normal BE and early oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). The AI system showed an accuracy of 89.9% on 14 cases with neoplastic BE.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Standalone performance of artificial intelligence for upper GI neoplasia: a meta-analysis</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) may reduce underdiagnosed or overlooked upper GI (UGI) neoplastic and preneoplastic conditions, due to subtle appearance and low disease prevalence. Only disease-specific AI performances have been reported, generating uncertainty on its clinical value.&#13;
&#13;
Design: We searched PubMed, Embase and Scopus until July 2020, for studies on the diagnostic performance of AI in detection and characterisation of UGI lesions. Primary outcomes were pooled diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of AI. Secondary outcomes were pooled positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values. We calculated pooled proportion rates (%), designed summary receiving operating characteristic curves with respective area under the curves (AUCs) and performed metaregression and sensitivity analysis.&#13;
&#13;
Results: Overall, 19 studies on detection of oesophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN) or Barrett's esophagus-related neoplasia (BERN) or gastric adenocarcinoma (GCA) were included with 218, 445, 453 patients and 7976, 2340, 13 562 images, respectively. AI-sensitivity/specificity/PPV/NPV/positive likelihood ratio/negative likelihood ratio for UGI neoplasia detection were 90% (CI 85% to 94%)/89% (CI 85% to 92%)/87% (CI 83% to 91%)/91% (CI 87% to 94%)/8.2 (CI 5.7 to 11.7)/0.111 (CI 0.071 to 0.175), respectively, with an overall AUC of 0.95 (CI 0.93 to 0.97). No difference in AI performance across ESCN, BERN and GCA was found, AUC being 0.94 (CI 0.52 to 0.99), 0.96 (CI 0.95 to 0.98), 0.93 (CI 0.83 to 0.99), respectively. Overall, study quality was low, with high risk of selection bias. No significant publication bias was found.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: We found a high overall AI accuracy for the diagnosis of any neoplastic lesion of the UGI tract that was independent of the underlying condition. This may be expected to substantially reduce the miss rate of precancerous lesions and early cancer when implemented in clinical practice.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Endoscopic prediction of submucosal invasion in Barrett’s cancer with the use of Artificial Intelligence: A pilot Study</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background and aims: The accurate differentiation between T1a and T1b Barrett’s cancer has both therapeutic and prognostic implications but is challenging even for experienced physicians. We trained an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system on the basis of deep artificial neural networks (deep learning) to differentiate between T1a and T1b Barrett’s cancer white-light images. &#13;
&#13;
Methods: Endoscopic images from three tertiary care centres in Germany were collected retrospectively. A deep learning system was trained and tested using the principles of cross-validation. A total of 230 white-light endoscopic images (108 T1a and 122 T1b) was evaluated with the AI-system. For comparison, the images were also classified by experts specialized in endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of Barrett’s cancer. &#13;
&#13;
Results: The sensitivity, specificity, F1 and accuracy of the AI-system in the differentiation between T1a and T1b cancer lesions was 0.77, 0.64, 0.73 and 0.71, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the performance of the AI-system and that of human experts with sensitivity, specificity, F1 and accuracy of 0.63, 0.78, 0.67 and 0.70 respectively. &#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrates the first multicenter application of an AI-based system in the prediction of submucosal invasion in endoscopic images of Barrett’s cancer. AI scored equal to international experts in the field, but more work is necessary to improve the system and apply it to video sequences and in a real-life setting. Nevertheless, the correct prediction of submucosal invasion in Barret´s cancer remains challenging for both experts and AI.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Assisting Barrett's esophagus identification using endoscopic data augmentation based on Generative Adversarial Networks</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Barrett's esophagus figured a swift rise in the number of cases in the past years. Although traditional diagnosis methods offered a vital role in early-stage treatment, they are generally time- and resource-consuming. In this context, computer-aided approaches for automatic diagnosis emerged in the literature since early detection is intrinsically related to remission probabilities. However, they still suffer from drawbacks because of the lack of available data for machine learning purposes, thus implying reduced recognition rates. This work introduces Generative Adversarial Networks to generate high-quality endoscopic images, thereby identifying Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma more precisely. Further, Convolution Neural Networks are used for feature extraction and classification purposes. The proposed approach is validated over two datasets of endoscopic images, with the experiments conducted over the full and patch-split images. The application of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks for the data augmentation step and LeNet-5 and AlexNet for the classification step allowed us to validate the proposed methodology over an extensive set of datasets (based on original and augmented sets), reaching results of 90% of accuracy for the patch-based approach and 85% for the image-based approach. Both results are based on augmented datasets and are statistically different from the ones obtained in the original datasets of the same kind. Moreover, the impact of data augmentation was evaluated in the context of image description and classification, and the results obtained using synthetic images outperformed the ones over the original datasets, as well as other recent approaches from the literature. Such results suggest promising insights related to the importance of proper data for the accurate classification concerning computer-assisted Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma detection.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Error-Correcting Mean-Teacher: Corrections instead of consistency-targets applied to semi-supervised medical image segmentation</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Semantic segmentation is an essential task in medical imaging research. Many powerful deep-learning-based approaches can be employed for this problem, but they are dependent on the availability of an expansive labeled dataset. In this work, we augment such supervised segmentation models to be suitable for learning from unlabeled data. Our semi-supervised approach, termed Error-Correcting Mean-Teacher, uses an exponential moving average model like the original Mean Teacher but introduces our new paradigm of error correction. The original segmentation network is augmented to handle this secondary correction task. Both tasks build upon the core feature extraction layers of the model. For the correction task, features detected in the input image are fused with features detected in the predicted segmentation and further processed with task-specific decoder layers. The combination of image and segmentation features allows the model to correct present mistakes in the given input pair. The correction task is trained jointly on the labeled data. On unlabeled data, the exponential moving average of the original network corrects the student’s prediction. The combined outputs of the students’ prediction with the teachers’ correction form the basis for the semi-supervised update. We evaluate our method with the 2017 and 2018 Robotic Scene Segmentation data, the ISIC 2017 and the BraTS 2020 Challenges, a proprietary Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection dataset, Cityscapes, and Pascal VOC 2012. Additionally, we analyze the impact of the individual components and examine the behavior when the amount of labeled data varies, with experiments performed on two distinct segmentation architectures. Our method shows improvements in terms of the mean Intersection over Union over the supervised baseline and competing methods. Code is available at https://github.com/CloneRob/ECMT.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">IJCARS: BVM 2021 special issue</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The German workshop on medical image computing (BVM) has been held in different locations in Germany for more than 20 years. In terms of content, BVM focused on the computer-aided analysis of medical image data with a wide range of applications, e.g. in the area of imaging, diagnostics, operation planning, computer-aided intervention and visualization.&#13;
&#13;
During this time, there have been remarkable methodological developments and upheavals, on which the BVM community has worked intensively. The area of machine learning should be emphasized, which has led to significant improvements, especially for tasks of classification and segmentation, but increasingly also in image formation and registration. As a result, work in connection with deep learning now dominates the BVM. These developments have also contributed to the establishment of medical image processing at the interface between computer science and medicine as one of the key technologies for the digitization of the health system.&#13;
&#13;
In addition to the presentation of current research results, a central aspect of the BVM is primarily the promotion of young scientists from the diverse BVM community, covering not only Germany but also Austria, Switzerland, The Netherland and other European neighbors. The conference serves primarily doctoral students and postdocs, but also students with excellent bachelor and master theses as a platform to present their work, to enter into professional discourse with the community, and to establish networks with specialist colleagues. Despite the many conferences and congresses that are also relevant for medical image processing, the BVM has therefore lost none of its importance and attractiveness and has retained its permanent place in the annual conference rhythm.&#13;
&#13;
Building on this foundation, there are some innovations and changes this year. The BVM 2021 was organized for the first time at the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg (OTH Regensburg, a technical university of applied sciences). After Aachen, Berlin, Erlangen, Freiburg, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Leipzig, Lübeck, and Munich, Regensburg is not just a new venue. OTH Regensburg is the first representative of the universities of applied sciences (HAW) to organize the conference, which differs to universities, university hospitals, or research centers like Fraunhofer or Helmholtz. This also considers the further development of the research landscape in Germany, where HAWs increasingly contribute to applied research in addition to their focus on teaching. This development is also reflected in the contributions submitted to the BVM in recent years.&#13;
&#13;
At BVM 2021, which was held in a virtual format for the first time due to the Corona pandemic, an attractive and high-quality program was offered. Fortunately, the number of submissions increased significantly. Out of 97 submissions, 26 presentations, 51 posters and 5 software demonstrations were accepted via an anonymized reviewing process with three reviews each. The three best works have been awarded BVM prizes, selected by a separate committee.&#13;
&#13;
Based on these high-quality submissions, we are able to present another special issue in the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (IJCARS). Out of the 97 submissions, the ones with the highest scores have been invited to submit an extended version of their paper to be presented in IJCARS. As a result, we are now able to present this special issue with seven excellent articles. Many submissions focus on machine learning in a medical context.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">A Novel Method of Outcome Assessment in Breast Reconstruction Surgery: Comparison of Autologous and Alloplastic Techniques Using Three-Dimensional Surface Imaging</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background &#13;
Breast reconstruction is an important coping tool for patients undergoing a mastectomy. There are numerous surgical techniques in breast reconstruction surgery (BRS). Regardless of the technique used, creating a symmetric outcome is crucial for patients and plastic surgeons. Three-dimensional surface imaging enables surgeons and patients to assess the outcome’s symmetry in BRS. To discriminate between autologous and alloplastic techniques, we analyzed both techniques using objective optical computerized symmetry analysis. Software was developed that enables clinicians to assess optical breast symmetry using three-dimensional surface imaging. &#13;
Methods&#13;
Twenty-seven patients who had undergone autologous (n = 12) or alloplastic (n = 15) BRS received three-dimensional surface imaging. Anthropomorphic data were collected digitally using semiautomatic measurements and automatic measurements. Automatic measurements were taken using the newly developed software. To quantify symmetry, a Symmetry Index is proposed.&#13;
Results &#13;
Statistical analysis revealed that there is no dif- ference in the outcome symmetry between the two groups (t test for independent samples; p = 0.48, two-tailed). &#13;
Conclusion&#13;
This study’s findings provide a foundation for qualitative symmetry assessment in BRS using automatized digital anthropometry. In the present trial, no difference in the outcomes’ optical symmetry was detected between autologous and alloplastic approaches.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">New aspects in digital breast assessment: further refinement of a method for automated digital anthropometry</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Purpose: In this trial, we used a previously developed prototype software to assess aesthetic results after reconstructive surgery for congenital breast asymmetry using automated anthropometry. To prove the consensus between the manual and automatic digital measurements, we evaluated the software by comparing the manual and automatic measurements of 46 breasts.&#13;
&#13;
Methods: Twenty-three patients who underwent reconstructive surgery for congenital breast asymmetry at our institution were examined and underwent 3D surface imaging. Per patient, 14 manual and 14 computer-based anthropometric measurements were obtained according to a standardized protocol. Manual and automatic measurements, as well as the previously proposed Symmetry Index (SI), were compared.&#13;
&#13;
Results: The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed no significant differences in six of the seven measurements between the automatic and manual assessments. The SI showed robust agreement between the automatic and manual methods.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: The present trial validates our method for digital anthropometry. Despite the discrepancy in one measurement, all remaining measurements, including the SI, showed high agreement between the manual and automatic methods. The proposed data bring us one step closer to the long-term goal of establishing robust instruments to evaluate the results of breast surgery.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Semi-supervised Segmentation Based on Error-Correcting Supervision</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Pixel-level classification is an essential part of computer vision. For learning from labeled data, many powerful deep learning models have been developed recently. In this work, we augment such supervised segmentation models by allowing them to learn from unlabeled data. Our semi-supervised approach, termed Error-Correcting Supervision, leverages a collaborative strategy. Apart from the supervised training on the labeled data, the segmentation network is judged by an additional network. The secondary correction network learns on the labeled data to optimally spot correct predictions, as well as to amend incorrect ones. As auxiliary regularization term, the corrector directly influences the supervised training of the segmentation network. On unlabeled data, the output of the correction network is essential to create a proxy for the unknown truth. The corrector’s output is combined with the segmentation network’s prediction to form the new target. We propose a loss function that incorporates both the pseudo-labels as well as the predictive certainty of the correction network. Our approach can easily be added to supervised segmentation models. We show consistent improvements over a supervised baseline on experiments on both the Pascal VOC 2012 and the Cityscapes datasets with varying amounts of labeled data.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">A Deep Learning Algorithm for Prediction of Age-Related Eye Disease Study Severity Scale for Age-Related Macular Degeneration from Color Fundus Photography</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Purpose&#13;
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common threat to vision. While classification of disease stages is critical to understanding disease risk and progression, several systems based on color fundus photographs are known. Most of these require in-depth and time-consuming analysis of fundus images. Herein, we present an automated computer-based classification algorithm.&#13;
Design Algorithm development for AMD classification based on a large collection of color fundus images. Validation is performed on a cross-sectional, population-based study.&#13;
Participants.&#13;
&#13;
We included 120 656 manually graded color fundus images from 3654 Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) participants. AREDS participants were &gt;55 years of age, and non-AMD sight-threatening diseases were excluded at recruitment. In addition, performance of our algorithm was evaluated in 5555 fundus images from the population-based Kooperative Gesundheitsforschung in der Region Augsburg (KORA; Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) study.&#13;
Methods.&#13;
&#13;
We defined 13 classes (9 AREDS steps, 3 late AMD stages, and 1 for ungradable images) and trained several convolution deep learning architectures. An ensemble of network architectures improved prediction accuracy. An independent dataset was used to evaluate the performance of our algorithm in a population-based study.&#13;
Main Outcome Measures.&#13;
&#13;
κ Statistics and accuracy to evaluate the concordance between predicted and expert human grader classification.&#13;
Results.&#13;
&#13;
A network ensemble of 6 different neural net architectures predicted the 13 classes in the AREDS test set with a quadratic weighted κ of 92% (95% confidence interval, 89%–92%) and an overall accuracy of 63.3%. In the independent KORA dataset, images wrongly classified as AMD were mainly the result of a macular reflex observed in young individuals. By restricting the KORA analysis to individuals &gt;55 years of age and prior exclusion of other retinopathies, the weighted and unweighted κ increased to 50% and 63%, respectively. Importantly, the algorithm detected 84.2% of all fundus images with definite signs of early or late AMD. Overall, 94.3% of healthy fundus images were classified correctly.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions&#13;
Our deep learning algoritm revealed a weighted κ outperforming human graders in the AREDS study and is suitable to classify AMD fundus images in other datasets using individuals &gt;55 years of age.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Evaluating smartphone-based 3D imaging techniques for clinical application in oral and maxillofacial surgery: A comparative study with the vectra M5</title>
    <abstract language="eng">PURPOSE&#13;
This study aimed to clarify the applicability of smartphone-based three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging for clinical use in oral and maxillofacial surgery, comparing two smartphone-based approaches to the gold standard.&#13;
METHODS&#13;
Facial surface models (SMs) were generated for 30 volunteers (15 men, 15 women) using the Vectra M5 (Canfield Scientific, USA), the TrueDepth camera of the iPhone 14 Pro (Apple Inc., USA), and the iPhone 14 Pro with photogrammetry. Smartphone-based SMs were superimposed onto Vectra-based SMs. Linear measurements and volumetric evaluations were performed to evaluate surface-to-surface deviation. To assess inter-observer reliability, all measurements were performed independently by a second observer. Statistical analyses included Bland-Altman analyses, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired samples, and Intraclass correlation coefficients.&#13;
RESULTS&#13;
Photogrammetry-based SMs exhibited an overall landmark-to-landmark deviation of M = 0.8 mm (SD =  ± 0.58 mm, n = 450), while TrueDepth-based SMs displayed a deviation of M = 1.1 mm (SD =  ± 0.72 mm, n = 450). The mean volumetric difference for photogrammetry-based SMs was M = 1.8 cc (SD =  ± 2.12 cc, n = 90), and M = 3.1 cc (SD =  ± 2.64 cc, n = 90) for TrueDepth-based SMs. When comparing the two approaches, most landmark-to-landmark measurements demonstrated 95% Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LoA) of ≤ 2 mm. Volumetric measurements revealed LoA &gt; 2 cc. Photogrammetry-based measurements demonstrated higher inter-observer reliability for overall landmark-to-landmark deviation.&#13;
CONCLUSION&#13;
Both approaches for smartphone-based 3D surface imaging exhibit potential in capturing the face. Photogrammetry-based SMs demonstrated superior alignment and volumetric accuracy with Vectra-based SMs than TrueDepth-based SMs.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Force-feedback assisted and virtual fixtures based K-wire drilling simulation</title>
    <abstract language="eng">One common method to fix fractures of the human hand after an accident is an osteosynthesis with Kirschner wires (K-wires) to stabilize the bone fragments. The insertion of K-wires is a delicate minimally invasive surgery, because surgeons operate almost without a sight. Since realistic training methods are time consuming, costly and insufficient, a virtual-reality (VR) based training system for the placement of K-wires was developed. As part of this, the current work deals with the real-time bone drilling simulation using a haptic force-feedback device.&#13;
&#13;
To simulate the drilling, we introduce a virtual fixture based force-feedback drilling approach. By decomposition of the drilling task into individual phases, each phase can be handled individually to perfectly control the drilling procedure. We report about the related finite state machine (FSM), describe the haptic feedback of each state and explain, how to avoid jerking of the haptic force-feedback during state transition.&#13;
&#13;
The usage of the virtual fixture approach results in a good haptic performance and a stable drilling behavior. This was confirmed by 26 expert surgeons, who evaluated the virtual drilling on the simulator and rated it as very realistic. To make the system even more convincing, we determined real drilling feed rates through experimental pig bone drilling and transferred them to our system. Due to a constant simulation thread we can guarantee a precise drilling motion.&#13;
&#13;
Virtual fixtures based force-feedback calculation is able to simulate force-feedback assisted bone drilling with high quality and, thus, will have a great potential in developing medical applications.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">LiwTERM: A Lightweight Transformer-Based Model for Dermatological Multimodal Lesion Detection</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world, accounting for approximately 30% of all diagnosed tumors. Early diagnosis reduces mortality rates and prevents disfiguring effects in different body regions. In recent years, machine learning techniques, particularly deep learning, have shown promising results in this task, presenting studies that have demonstrated that combining a patient’s clinical information with images of the lesion is crucial for improving the classification of skin lesions. Despite that, meaningful use of clinical information with multiple images is mandatory, requiring further investigation. Thus, this project aims to contribute to developing multimodal machine learning-based models to cope with the skin lesion classification task employing a lightweight transformer model. As a main hypothesis, models can take multiple images from different sources as input, along with clinical information from the patient’s history, leading to a more reliable diagnosis. Our model deals with the not-trivial task of combining images and clinical information (from anamneses) concerning the skin lesions in a lightweight transformer architecture that does not demand high computation resources but still presents competitive classification results.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Fine-tuning Generative Adversarial Networks using Metaheuristics</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Barrett's esophagus denotes a disorder in the digestive system that affects the esophagus' mucosal cells, causing reflux, and showing potential convergence to esophageal adenocarcinoma if not treated in initial stages. Thus, fast and reliable computer-aided diagnosis becomes considerably welcome. Nevertheless, such approaches usually suffer from imbalanced datasets, which can be addressed through Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Such techniques generate realistic images based on observed samples, even though at the cost of a proper selection of its hyperparameters. Many works employed a class of nature-inspired algorithms called metaheuristics to tackle the problem considering distinct deep learning approaches. Therefore, this paper's main contribution is to introduce metaheuristic techniques to fine-tune GANs in the context of Barrett's esophagus identification, as well as to investigate the feasibility of generating high-quality synthetic images for early-cancer assisted identification.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">GraphMIC: Medizinische Bildverarbeitung in der Lehre</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Die Lehre der medizinischen Bildverarbeitung vermittelt Kenntnisse mit einem breiten Methodenspektrum. Neben den Grundlagen der Verfahren soll ein Gefühl für eine geeignete Ausführungsreihenfolge und ihrer Wirkung auf medizinische Bilddaten entwickelt werden. Die Komplexität der Methoden erfordert vertiefte Programmierkenntnisse, sodass bereits einfache Operationen mit großem Programmieraufwand verbunden sind. Die Software GraphMIC stellt Bildverarbeitungsoperationen in Form interaktiver Knoten zur Verfügung und erlaubt das Arrangieren, Parametrisieren und Ausführen komplexer Verarbeitungssequenzen in einem Graphen. Durch den Fokus auf das Design einer Pipeline, weg von sprach- und frameworkspezifischen Implementierungsdetails, lassen sich grundlegende Prinzipien der Bildverarbeitung anschaulich erlernen. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir die visuelle Programmierung mit GraphMIC der nativen Implementierung äquivalenter Funktionen gegenüber. Die in C++ entwickelte Applikation basiert auf Qt, ITK, OpenCV, VTK und MITK.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">An artificial intelligence algorithm is highly accurate for detecting endoscopic features of eosinophilic esophagitis</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The endoscopic features associated with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) may be missed during routine endoscopy. We aimed to develop and evaluate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm for detecting and quantifying the endoscopic features of EoE in white light images, supplemented by the EoE Endoscopic Reference Score (EREFS). An AI algorithm (AI-EoE) was constructed and trained to differentiate between EoE and normal esophagus using endoscopic white light images extracted from the database of the University Hospital Augsburg. In addition to binary classification, a second algorithm was trained with specific auxiliary branches for each EREFS feature (AI-EoE-EREFS). The AI algorithms were evaluated on an external data set from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC), and compared with the performance of human endoscopists with varying levels of experience. The overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of AI-EoE were 0.93 for all measures, while the AUC was 0.986. With additional auxiliary branches for the EREFS categories, the AI algorithm (AI-EoEEREFS) performance improved to 0.96, 0.94, 0.95, and 0.992 for sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC, respectively. AI-EoE and AI-EoE-EREFS performed significantly better than endoscopy beginners and senior fellows on the same set of images. An AI algorithm can be trained to detect and quantify endoscopic features of EoE with excellent performance scores. The addition of the EREFS criteria improved the performance of the AI algorithm, which performed significantly better than endoscopists with a lower or medium experience level.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Artificial intelligence-assisted endoscopy and examiner confidence : a study on human–artificial intelligence interaction in Barrett's Esophagus (With Video)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Objective&#13;
Despite high stand-alone performance, studies demonstrate that artificial intelligence (AI)-supported endoscopic diagnostics often fall short in clinical applications due to human-AI interaction factors. This video-based trial on Barrett's esophagus aimed to investigate how examiner behavior, their levels of confidence, and system usability influence the diagnostic outcomes of AI-assisted endoscopy.&#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
The present analysis employed data from a multicenter randomized controlled tandem video trial involving 22 endoscopists with varying degrees of expertise. Participants were tasked with evaluating a set of 96 endoscopic videos of Barrett's esophagus in two distinct rounds, with and without AI assistance. Diagnostic confidence levels were recorded, and decision changes were categorized according to the AI prediction. Additional surveys assessed user experience and system usability ratings.&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
AI assistance significantly increased examiner confidence levels (p &lt; 0.001) and accuracy. Withdrawing AI assistance decreased confidence (p &lt; 0.001), but not accuracy. Experts consistently reported higher confidence than non-experts (p &lt; 0.001), regardless of performance. Despite improved confidence, correct AI guidance was disregarded in 16% of all cases, and 9% of initially correct diagnoses were changed to incorrect ones. Overreliance on AI, algorithm aversion, and uncertainty in AI predictions were identified as key factors influencing outcomes. The System Usability Scale questionnaire scores indicated good to excellent usability, with non-experts scoring 73.5 and experts 85.6.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions&#13;
Our findings highlight the pivotal function of examiner behavior in AI-assisted endoscopy. To fully realize the benefits of AI, implementing explainable AI, improving user interfaces, and providing targeted training are essential. Addressing these factors could enhance diagnostic accuracy and confidence in clinical practice.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Endoscopic Diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis Using a deep Learning Algorithm</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is easily missed during endoscopy, either because physicians are not familiar with its endoscopic features or the morphologic changes are too subtle. In this preliminary paper, we present the first attempt to detect EoE in endoscopic white light (WL) images using a deep learning network (EoE-AI).&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
401 WL images of eosinophilic esophagitis and 871 WL images of normal esophageal mucosa were evaluated. All images were assessed for the Endoscopic Reference score (EREFS) (edema, rings, exudates, furrows, strictures). Images with strictures were excluded. EoE was defined as the presence of at least 15 eosinophils per high power field on biopsy. A convolutional neural network based on the ResNet architecture with several five-fold cross-validation runs was used. Adding auxiliary EREFS-classification branches to the neural network allowed the inclusion of the scores as optimization criteria during training. EoE-AI was evaluated for sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score. In addition, two human endoscopists evaluated the images.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
EoE-AI showed a mean sensitivity, specificity, and F1 of 0.759, 0.976, and 0.834 respectively, averaged over the five distinct cross-validation runs. With the EREFS-augmented architecture, a mean sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score of 0.848, 0.945, and 0.861 could be demonstrated respectively. In comparison, the two human endoscopists had an average sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score of 0.718, 0.958, and 0.793.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of deep learning to endoscopic images of EoE which were also assessed after augmentation with the EREFS-score. The next step is the evaluation of EoE-AI using an external dataset. We then plan to assess the EoE-AI tool on endoscopic videos, and also in real-time. This preliminary work is encouraging regarding the ability for AI to enhance physician detection of EoE, and potentially to do a true “optical biopsy” but more work is needed.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Detection of duodenal villous atrophy on endoscopic images using a deep learning algorithm</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background and aims&#13;
Celiac disease with its endoscopic manifestation of villous atrophy is underdiagnosed worldwide. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) for the macroscopic detection of villous atrophy at routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy may improve diagnostic performance.&#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
A dataset of 858 endoscopic images of 182 patients with villous atrophy and 846 images from 323 patients with normal duodenal mucosa was collected and used to train a ResNet 18 deep learning model to detect villous atrophy. An external data set was used to test the algorithm, in addition to six fellows and four board certified gastroenterologists. Fellows could consult the AI algorithm’s result during the test. From their consultation distribution, a stratification of test images into “easy” and “difficult” was performed and used for classified performance measurement.&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
External validation of the AI algorithm yielded values of 90 %, 76 %, and 84 % for sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, respectively. Fellows scored values of 63 %, 72 % and 67 %, while the corresponding values in experts were 72 %, 69 % and 71 %, respectively. AI consultation significantly improved all trainee performance statistics. While fellows and experts showed significantly lower performance for “difficult” images, the performance of the AI algorithm was stable.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion&#13;
In this study, an AI algorithm outperformed endoscopy fellows and experts in the detection of villous atrophy on endoscopic still images. AI decision support significantly improved the performance of non-expert endoscopists. The stable performance on “difficult” images suggests a further positive add-on effect in challenging cases.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">AI-assisted detection and characterization of early Barrett's neoplasia: Results of an Interim analysis</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Evaluation of the add-on effect an artificial intelligence (AI) based clinical decision support system has on the performance of endoscopists with different degrees of expertise in the field of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and Barrett's esophagus-related neoplasia (BERN).&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
The support system is based on a multi-task deep learning model trained to solve a segmentation and several classification tasks. The training approach represents an extension of the ECMT semi-supervised learning algorithm. The complete system evaluates a decision tree between estimated motion, classification, segmentation, and temporal constraints, to decide when and how the prediction is highlighted to the observer. In our current study, ninety-six video cases of patients with BE and BERN were prospectively collected and assessed by Barrett's specialists and non-specialists. All video cases were evaluated twice – with and without AI assistance. The order of appearance, either with or without AI support, was assigned randomly. Participants were asked to detect and characterize regions of dysplasia or early neoplasia within the video sequences.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
Standalone sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the AI system were 92.16%, 68.89%, and 81.25%, respectively. Mean sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of expert endoscopists without AI support were 83,33%, 58,20%, and 71,48 %, respectively. Gastroenterologists without Barrett's expertise but with AI support had a comparable performance with a mean sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 76,63%, 65,35%, and 71,36%, respectively.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
Non-Barrett's experts with AI support had a similar performance as experts in a video-based study.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Artificial intelligence improves submucosal vessel detection during third space endoscopy</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background and study aims: While artificial intelligence (AI) shows high potential in decision support for diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy, its role in therapeutic endoscopy remains unclear. Third space endoscopic procedures pose the risk of intraprocedural bleeding. Therefore, we aimed to develop an AI algorithm for intraprocedural blood vessel detection. Patients and Methods: Using a test dataset with 101 standardized video clips containing 200 predefined submucosal blood vessels, 19 endoscopists were evaluated for the vessel detection rate (VDR) and time (VDT) with and without support of an AI algorithm. Test subjects were grouped according to experience in ESD. Results: With AI support, endoscopists VDR increased from 56.4% [CI 54.1–58.6] to 72.4% [CI 70.3–74.4]. Endoscopists‘ VDT dropped from 6.7sec [CI 6.2-7.1] to 5.2sec [CI 4.8-5.7]. False positive (FP) readings appeared in 4.5% of frames and were marked significantly shorter than true positives (6.0sec [CI 5.28-6.70] vs. 0.7sec [CI 0.55-0.87]). Conclusions: AI improved the vessel detection rate and time of endoscopists during third space endoscopy. While these data need to be corroborated by clinical trials, AI may prove to be an invaluable tool for the improvement of endoscopic interventions.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Methods and datasets for segmentation of minimally invasive surgical instruments in endoscopic images and videos: A review of the state of the art</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In the field of computer- and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, enormous progress has been made in recent years based on the recognition of surgical instruments in endoscopic images and videos. In particular, the determination of the position and type of instruments is of great interest. Current work involves both spatial and temporal information, with the idea that predicting the movement of surgical tools over time may improve the quality of the final segmentations. The provision of publicly available datasets has recently encouraged the development of new methods, mainly based on deep learning. In this review, we identify and characterize datasets used for method development and evaluation and quantify their frequency of use in the literature. We further present an overview of the current state of research regarding the segmentation and tracking of minimally invasive surgical instruments in endoscopic images and videos. The paper focuses on methods that work purely visually, without markers of any kind attached to the instruments, considering both single-frame semantic and instance segmentation approaches, as well as those that incorporate temporal information. The publications analyzed were identified through the platforms Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed. The search terms used were “instrument segmentation”, “instrument tracking”, “surgical tool segmentation”, and “surgical tool tracking”, resulting in a total of 741 articles published between 01/2015 and 07/2023, of which 123 were included using systematic selection criteria. A discussion of the reviewed literature is provided, highlighting existing shortcomings and emphasizing the available potential for future developments.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Detection Of Celiac Disease Using A Deep Learning Algorithm</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Celiac disease (CD) is a complex condition caused by an autoimmune reaction to ingested gluten. Due to its polymorphic manifestation and subtle endoscopic presentation, the diagnosis is difficult and thus the disorder is underreported. We aimed to use deep learning to identify celiac disease on endoscopic images of the small bowel.&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
Patients with small intestinal histology compatible with CD (MARSH classification I-III) were extracted retrospectively from the database of Augsburg University hospital. They were compared to patients with no clinical signs of CD and histologically normal small intestinal mucosa. In a first step MARSH III and normal small intestinal mucosa were differentiated with the help of a deep learning algorithm. For this, the endoscopic white light images were divided into five equal-sized subsets. We avoided splitting the images of one patient into several subsets. A ResNet-50 model was trained with the images from four subsets and then validated with the remaining subset. This process was repeated for each subset, such that each subset was validated once. Sensitivity, specificity, and harmonic mean (F1) of the algorithm were determined.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
The algorithm showed values of 0.83, 0.88, and 0.84 for sensitivity, specificity, and F1, respectively. Further data showing a comparison between the detection rate of the AI model and that of experienced endoscopists will be available at the time of the upcoming conference.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
We present the first clinical report on the use of a deep learning algorithm for the detection of celiac disease using endoscopic images. Further evaluation on an external data set, as well as in the detection of CD in real-time, will follow. However, this work at least suggests that AI can assist endoscopists in the endoscopic diagnosis of CD, and ultimately may be able to do a true optical biopsy in live-time.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Precise Monitoring of Returning Sensation in Digital Nerve Lesions by 3-D Imaging: A Proof-of-Concept Study</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Digital nerve lesions result in a loss of tactile sensation reflected by an anesthetic area (AA) at the radial or ulnar aspect of the respective digit. Yet, available tools to monitor the recovery of tactile sense have been criticized for their lack of validity. However, the precise quantification of AA dynamics by three-dimensional (3-D) imaging could serve as an accurate surrogate to monitor recovery following digital nerve repair.&#13;
&#13;
For validation, AAs were marked on digits of healthy volunteers to simulate the AA of an impaired cutaneous innervation. Three dimensional models were composed from raw images that had been acquired with a 3-D camera (Vectra H2) to precisely quantify relative AA for each digit (3-D models, n= 80). Operator properties varied regarding individual experience in 3-D imaging and image processing. Additionally, the concept was applied in a clinical case study.&#13;
&#13;
Images taken by experienced photographers were rated better quality (p&lt; 0.001) and needed less processing time (p= 0.020). Quantification of the relative AA was neither altered significantly by experience levels of the photographer (p= 0.425) nor the image assembler (p= 0.749).&#13;
&#13;
The proposed concept allows precise and reliable surface quantification of digits and can be performed consistently without relevant distortion by lack of examiner experience. Routine 3-D imaging of the AA has the great potential to provide visual evidence of various returning states of sensation and to convert sensory nerve recovery into a metric variable with high responsiveness to temporal progress.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Classification of Vascular Malformations Based on T2 STIR Magnetic Resonance Imaging</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Vascular malformations (VMs) are a rare condition. They can be categorized into high-ﬂow and low-ﬂow VMs, which is a challenging task for radiologists. In this work, a very heterogeneous set of MRI images with only rough annotations are used for classification with a convolutional neural network. The main focus is to describe the challenging data set and strategies to deal with such data in terms of preprocessing, annotation usage and choice of the network architecture. We achieved a classification result of 89.47 % F1-score with a 3D ResNet 18.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Analysis of Celiac Disease with Multimodal Deep Learning</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by gluten that results in an inﬂammatory response of the small intestine.We investigated whether celiac disease can be detected using endoscopic images through a deep learning approach. The results show that additional clinical parameters can improve the classiﬁcation accuracy. In this work, we distinguished between healthy tissue and Marsh III, according to the Marsh score system. We ﬁrst trained a baseline network to classify endoscopic images of the small bowel into these two classes and then augmented the approach with a multimodality component that took the antibody status into account.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Quantitative Analysis of Surface Contouring with Pulsed Bipolar Radiofrequency on Thin Chondromalacic Cartilage</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of surface contouring of chondromalacic cartilage by bipolar radio frequency energy using different treatment patterns in an animal model, as well as examining the impact of the treatment onto chondrocyte viability by two different methods. Our experiments were conducted on 36 fresh osteochondral sections from the tibia plateau of slaughtered 6-month-old pigs, where the thickness of the cartilage is similar to that of human wrist cartilage. An area of 1 cm(2) was first treated with emery paper to simulate the chondromalacic cartilage. Then, the treatment with RFE followed in 6 different patterns. The osteochondral sections were assessed for cellular viability (live/dead assay, caspase (cell apoptosis marker) staining, and quantitative analysed images obtained by fluorescent microscopy). For a quantitative characterization of none or treated cartilage surfaces, various roughness parameters were measured using confocal laser scanning microscopy (Olympus LEXT OLS 4000 3D). To describe the roughness, the Root-Mean-Square parameter (Sq) was calculated. A smoothing effect of the cartilage surface was detectable upon each pattern of RFE treatment. The Sq for native cartilage was Sq=3.8 +/- 1.1 mu m. The best smoothing pattern was seen for two RFE passes and a 2-second pulsed mode (B2p2) with an Sq=27.3 +/- 4.9 mu m. However, with increased smoothing, an augmentation in chondrocyte death up to 95% was detected. Using bipolar RFE treatment in arthroscopy for small joints like the wrist or MCP joints should be used with caution. In the case of chondroplasty, there is a high chance to destroy the joint cartilage.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Exploring the Effects of Contrastive Learning on Homogeneous Medical Image Data</title>
    <abstract language="deu">We investigate contrastive learning in a multi-task learning setting classifying and segmenting early Barrett’s cancer. How can contrastive learning be applied in a domain with few classes and low inter-class and inter-sample variance, potentially enabling image retrieval or image attribution? We introduce a data sampling strategy that mines per-lesion data for positive samples and keeps a queue of the recent projections as negative samples. We propose a masking strategy for the NT-Xent loss that keeps the negative set pure and removes samples from the same lesion. We show cohesion and uniqueness improvements of the proposed method in feature space. The introduction of the auxiliary objective does not affect the performance but adds the ability to indicate similarity between lesions. Therefore, the approach could enable downstream auto-documentation tasks on homogeneous medical image data.</abstract>

    <abstract language="eng">The evaluation and assessment of Barrett’s esophagus is challenging for both expert and nonexpert endoscopists. However, the early diagnosis of cancer in Barrett’s esophagus is crucial for its prognosis, and could save costs. Pre-clinical and clinical studies on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Barrett’s esophagus have shown promising results. In this review, we focus on the current challenges and future perspectives of implementing AI systems in the management of patients with Barrett’s esophagus.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Barrett's esophagus analysis using infinity Restricted Boltzmann Machines</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The number of patients with Barret’s esophagus (BE) has increased in the last decades. Considering the dangerousness of the disease and its evolution to adenocarcinoma, an early diagnosis of BE may provide a high probability of cancer remission. However, limitations regarding traditional methods of detection and management of BE demand alternative solutions. As such, computer-aided tools have been recently used to assist in this problem, but the challenge still persists. To manage the problem, we introduce the infinity Restricted Boltzmann Machines (iRBMs) to the task of automatic identification of Barrett’s esophagus from endoscopic images of the lower esophagus. Moreover, since iRBM requires a proper selection of its meta-parameters, we also present a discriminative iRBM fine-tuning using six meta-heuristic optimization techniques. We showed that iRBMs are suitable for the context since it provides competitive results, as well as the meta-heuristic techniques showed to be appropriate for such task.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Data-Parallel MRI Brain Segmentation in Clinicial Use</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Structural MRI brain analysis and segmentation is a crucial part in the daily routine in neurosurgery for intervention planning. Exemplarily, the free software FSL-FAST (FMRIB’s Segmentation Library – FMRIB’s Automated Segmentation Tool) in version 4 is used for segmentation of brain tissue types. To speed up the segmentation procedure by parallel execution, we transferred FSL-FAST to a General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) using Open Computing Language (OpenCL) [1]. The necessary steps for parallelization resulted in substantially different and less useful results. Therefore, the underlying methods were revised and adapted yielding computational overhead. Nevertheless, we achieved a speed-up factor of 3.59 from CPU to GPGPU execution, as well providing similar useful or even better results.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Enhancing generalization in zero-shot multi-label endoscopic instrument classiﬁcation</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Purpose &#13;
Recognizing previously unseen classes with neural networks is a signiﬁcant challenge due to their limited generalization capabilities. This issue is particularly critical in safety-critical domains such as medical applications, where accurate classiﬁcation is essential for reliability and patient safety. Zero-shot learning methods address this challenge by utilizing additional semantic data, with their performance relying heavily on the quality of the generated embeddings.&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
This work investigates the use of full descriptive sentences, generated by a Sentence-BERT model, as class representations, compared to simpler category-based word embeddings derived from a BERT model. Additionally, the impact of z-score normalization as a post-processing step on these embeddings is explored. The proposed approach is evaluated on a multi-label generalized zero-shot learning task, focusing on the recognition of surgical instruments in endoscopic images from minimally invasive cholecystectomies.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
The results demonstrate that combining sentence embeddings and z-score normalization signiﬁcantly improves model performance. For unseen classes, the AUROC improves from 43.9% to 64.9%, and the multi-label accuracy from 26.1% to 79.5%. Overall performance measured across both seen and unseen classes improves from 49.3% to 64.9% in AUROC and from 37.3% to 65.1% in multi-label accuracy, highlighting the effectiveness of our approach.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion &#13;
These ﬁndings demonstrate that sentence embeddings and z-score normalization can substantially enhance the generalization performance of zero-shot learning models. However, as the study is based on a single dataset, future work should validate the method across diverse datasets and application domains to establish its robustness and broader applicability.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Künstliche Intelligenz-basierte Erkennung von interventionellen Phasen bei der endoskopischen Submukosadissektion</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Einleitung: Die endoskopische Submukosadissektion (ESD) ist ein komplexes endoskopisches Verfahren, das technische Expertise erfordert. Objektive Methoden zur Analyse von interventionellen Abläufen bei ESD könnten für Qualitätssicherung und Ausbildung, wie auch eine automatische Befunderstellung von Nutzen sein.&#13;
&#13;
Ziele: In dieser Studie wurde ein KI-Algorithmus für die Erkennung und Klassifizierung der interventionellen Phasen der ESD entwickelt, um die technische Basis für eine standardisierte Leistungsbewertung und automatische Befunderstellung zu schaffen.&#13;
&#13;
Methodik: Vollständige ESD-Videoaufnahmen von 49 Patienten wurden retrospektiv zusammengestellt. Der Datensatz umfasste 6.390.151 Einzelbilder, die alle für die folgenden interventionellen Phasen annotiert wurden: Diagnostik, Markierung, Injektion, Dissektion und Hämostase. 3.973.712 Bilder (28 Patienten) wurden für das Training eines Video-Swin-Transformers genutzt. Dabei wurde temporale Information durch standardisierte BIldextraktion in festgelegten zeitlichen Abständen zum analysierten Bild inkorporiert. 2.416.439 separate Bilder (21 Patienten) wurden für eine interne Validierung genutzt.&#13;
&#13;
Ergebnis: Bei der internen Evaluation erreichte das System insgesamt einen F1-Wert von 0,88. Es wurden F1-Werte von 0,99, 0,89, 0,89, 0,91 und 0,52 für Diagnostik, Markierung, Injektion, Dissektion bzw. Blutungsmanagement gemessen. Die Sensitivitäten für dieselben Parameter betrugen 1,00, 0,80, 0,94, 0,89 und 0,67, die Spezifitäten lagen bei 1,00, 1,00, 0,98, 0,88 und 0,93. Positive prädiktive Werte wurden mit 0,98, 1,00, 0,85, 0,94 und 0,43 gemessen.&#13;
&#13;
Schlussfolgerung: In dieser vorläufigen Studie zeigte ein KI-Algorithmus eine hohe Leistungsfähigkeit für die Einzelbild-Erkennung von Verfahrensphasen während der ESD. Die vergleichsweise niedrige Leistung für die Blutungsphase wurde auf das seltene Auftreten von Blutungsepisoden im Trainingsdatensatz zurückgeführt, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt nur Videos in voller Länge umfasste. Die zukünftige Entwicklung des Algorithmus wird sich auf die Reduzierung von Klassenungleichgewichten durch selektive Annotationsprotokolle konzentrieren.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Instrumentenerkennung während der endoskopischen Submukosadissektion mittels künstlicher Intelligenz</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Einleitung: Die endoskopische Submukosadissektion (ESD) ist eine komplexe Technik zur Resektion gastrointestinaler Frühneoplasien. Dabei werden für die verschiedenen Schritte der Intervention spezifische endoskopische Instrumente verwendet. Die präzise und automatische Erkennung und Abgrenzung der verwendeten Instrumente (Injektionsnadeln, elektrochirurgische Messer mit unterschiedlichen Konfigurationen, hämostatische Zangen) könnte wertvolle Informationen über den Fortschritt und die Verfahrensmerkmale der ESD liefern und eine automatische standardisierte Berichterstattung ermöglichen.&#13;
&#13;
Ziele: Ziel dieser Studie war die Entwicklung eines KI-Algorithmus zur Erkennung und Delineation von endoskopischen Instrumenten bei der ESD.&#13;
&#13;
Methodik: 17 ESD-Videos (9×rektal, 5×ösophageal, 3×gastrisch) wurden retrospektiv zusammengestellt. Auf 8530 Einzelbilder dieser Videos wurden durch 2 Studienmitarbeiter die folgenden Klassen eingezeichnet: Hakenmesser – Spitze, Hakenmesser – Katheter, Nadelmesser – Spitze und – Katheter, Injektionsnadel -Spitze und – Katheter sowie hämostatische Zange – Spitze und – Katheter. Der annotierte Datensatz wurde zum Training eines DeepLabV3+-Deep-Learning-Algorithmus mit ConvNeXt-Backbone zur Erkennung und Abgrenzung der genannten Klassen verwendet. Die Evaluation erfolgte durch 5-fache interne Kreuzvalidierung.&#13;
&#13;
Ergebnis: Die Validierung auf Einzelpixelbasis ergab insgesamt einen F1-Score von 0,80, eine Sensitivität von 0,81 und eine Spezifität von 1,00. Es wurden F1-Scores von 1,00, 0,97, 0,80, 0,98, 0,85, 0,97, 0,80, 0,51 bzw. 0,85 für die Klassen Hakenmesser – Katheter und – Spitze, Nadelmesser – Katheter und – Spitze, Injektionsnadel – Katheter und – Spitze, hämostatische Zange – Katheter und – Spitze gemessen.&#13;
&#13;
Schlussfolgerung: In dieser Studie wurden die wichtigsten endoskopischen Instrumente, die während der ESD verwendet werden, mit hoher Genauigkeit erkannt. Die geringere Leistung bei der hämostatische Zange – Katheter kann auf die Unterrepräsentation dieser Klassen in den Trainingsdaten zurückgeführt werden. Zukünftige Studien werden sich auf die Erweiterung der Instrumentenklassen sowie auf die Ausbalancierung der Trainingsdaten konzentrieren.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">DIY challenge blueprint: from organization to technical realization in biomedical image analysis</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Biomedical image analysis challenges have become the de facto standard for publishing new datasets and benchmarking diﬀerent state-of-the-art algorithms. Most challenges use commercial cloud-based platforms, which can limit custom options and involve disadvantages such as reduced data control and increased costs for extended functionalities. In contrast, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approaches have the capability to emphasize reliability, compliance, and custom features, providing a solid basis for low-cost, custom designs in self-hosted systems. Our approach emphasizes cost eﬃciency, improved data sovereignty, and strong compliance with regulatory frameworks, such as the GDPR. This paper presents a blueprint for DIY biomedical imaging challenges, designed to provide institutions with greater autonomy over their challenge infrastructure. Our approach comprehensively addresses both organizational and technical dimensions, including key user roles, data management strategies, and secure, eﬃcient workﬂows. Key technical contributions include a modular, containerized infrastructure based on Docker, integration of open-source identity management, and automated solution evaluation workﬂows. Practical deployment guidelines are provided to facilitate implementation and operational stability. The feasibility and adaptability of the proposed framework are demonstrated through the MICCAI 2024 PhaKIR challenge with multiple international teams submitting and validating their solutions through our self-hosted platform. This work can be used as a baseline for future self-hosted DIY implementations and our results encourage further studies in the area of biomedical image analysis challenges.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Learning the shape of female breasts: an open-access 3D statistical shape model of the female breast built from 110 breast scans</title>
    <abstract language="eng">We present the Regensburg Breast Shape Model (RBSM)—a 3D statistical shape model of the female breast built from 110 breast scans acquired in a standing position, and the first publicly available. Together with the model, a fully automated, pairwise surface registration pipeline used to establish dense correspondence among 3D breast scans is introduced. Our method is computationally efficient and requires only four landmarks to guide the registration process. A major challenge when modeling female breasts from surface-only 3D breast scans is the non-separability of breast and thorax. In order to weaken the strong coupling between breast and surrounding areas, we propose to minimize the variance outside the breast region as much as possible. To achieve this goal, a novel concept called breast probability masks (BPMs) is introduced. A BPM assigns probabilities to each point of a 3D breast scan, telling how likely it is that a particular point belongs to the breast area. During registration, we use BPMs to align the template to the target as accurately as possible inside the breast region and only roughly outside. This simple yet effective strategy significantly reduces the unwanted variance outside the breast region, leading to better statistical shape models in which breast shapes are quite well decoupled from the thorax. The RBSM is thus able to produce a variety of different breast shapes as independently as possible from the shape of the thorax. Our systematic experimental evaluation reveals a generalization ability of 0.17 mm and a specificity of 2.8 mm. To underline the expressiveness of the proposed model, we finally demonstrate in two showcase applications how the RBSM can be used for surgical outcome simulation and the prediction of a missing breast from the remaining one. Our model is available at https://www.rbsm.re-mic.de/.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Implants Versus Lipograft: Analysis of Long-Term Results Following Congenital Breast Asymmetry Correction</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims&#13;
Congenital breast asymmetry represents a particular challenge to the classic techniques of plastic surgery given the young age of patients at presentation. This study reviews and compares the long-term results of traditional breast augmentation using silicone implants and the more innovative technique of lipografting. &#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
To achieve this, we not only captured subjective parameters such as satisfaction with outcome and symmetry, but also objective parameters including breast vol-ume and anthropometric measurements. The objective examination was performed manually and by using the Vectra H2 photogrammetry scanning system.&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
Differences between patients undergoing either implant augmentation or lipograft were revealed not to be significant with respect to patient satisfaction with surgical outcome (p= 0.55) and symmetry (p= 0.69). Furthermore, a breast symmetry of 93 % was reported in both groups. Likewise, no statistically significant volume difference between the left and right breasts was observed in both groups (p\0.41). However, lipograft patients needed on average 2.9 procedures to achieve the desired result, compared with 1.3 for implant augmentation. In contrast, patients treated with implant augmentation may require anumber of implant changes during their lifetime.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion&#13;
Both methods may be considered for patients presenting with congenital breast asymmetry.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Imitating human soft tissue on basis of a dual-material 3D print using a support-filled metamaterial to provide bimanual haptic for a hand surgery training system</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background: Currently, it is common practice to use three-dimensional (3D) printers not only for rapid prototyping in the industry, but also in the medical area to create medical applications for training inexperienced surgeons. In a clinical training simulator for minimally invasive bone drilling to fix hand fractures with Kirschner-wires (K-wires), a 3D-printed hand phantom must not only be geometrically but also haptically correct. Due to a limited view during an operation, surgeons need to perfectly localize underlying risk structures only by feeling of specific bony protrusions of the human hand.&#13;
Methods: The goal of this experiment is to imitate human soft tissue with its haptic and elasticity for a realistic hand phantom fabrication, using only a dual-material 3D printer and support-material-filled metamaterial between skin and bone. We present our workflow to generate lattice structures between hard bone and soft skin with iterative cube edge (CE) or cube face (CF) unit cells. Cuboid and finger shaped sample prints with and without inner hard bone in different lattice thickness are constructed and 3D printed.&#13;
Results: The most elastic available rubber-like material is too firm to imitate soft tissue. By reducing the amount of rubber in the inner volume through support material (SUP), objects become significantly softer. Without metamaterial, after disintegration, the SUP can be shifted through the volume and thus the body loses its original shape. Although the CE design increases the elasticity, it cannot restore the fabric form. In contrast to CE, the CF design increases not only the elasticity but also guarantees a local limitation of the SUP. Therefore, the body retains its shape and internal bones remain in its intended place. Various unit cell sizes, lattice thickening and skin thickness regulate the rubber material and SUP ratio. Test prints with higher SUP and lower rubber material percentage appear softer and vice versa. This was confirmed by an expert surgeon evaluation. Subjects adjudged pure rubber-like material as too firm and samples only filled with SUP or lattice structure in CE design as not suitable for imitating tissue. 3D-printed finger samples in CF design were rated as realistic compared to the haptic of human tissue with a good palpable bone structure.&#13;
Conclusions: We developed a new dual-material 3D print technique to imitate soft tissue of the human hand with its haptic properties. Blowy SUP is trapped within a lattice structure to soften rubber-like 3D print material, which makes it possible to reproduce a realistic replica of human hand soft tissue.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Optically tracked and 3D printed haptic phantom hand for surgical training system</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Background: For surgical fixation of bone fractures of the human hand, so-called Kirschner-wires (K-wires) are drilled through bone fragments. Due to the minimally invasive drilling procedures without a view of risk structures like vessels and nerves, a thorough training of young surgeons is necessary. For the development of a virtual reality (VR) based training system, a three-dimensional (3D) printed phantom hand is required. To ensure an intuitive operation, this phantom hand has to be realistic in both, its position relative to the driller as well as in its haptic features. The softest 3D printing material available on the market, however, is too hard to imitate human soft tissue. Therefore, a support-material (SUP) filled metamaterial is used to soften the raw material. Realistic haptic features are important to palpate protrusions of the bone to determine the drilling starting point and angle. An optical real-time tracking is used to transfer position and rotation to the training system.&#13;
Methods: A metamaterial already developed in previous work is further improved by use of a new unit cell. Thus, the amount of SUP within the volume can be increased and the tissue is softened further. In addition, the human anatomy is transferred to the entire hand model. A subcutaneous fat layer and penetration of air through pores into the volume simulate shiftability of skin layers. For optical tracking, a rotationally symmetrical marker attached to the phantom hand with corresponding reference marker is developed. In order to ensure trouble-free position transmission, various types of marker point applications are tested.&#13;
&#13;
Results: Several cuboid and forearm sample prints lead to a final 30 centimeter long hand model. The whole haptic phantom could be printed faultless within about 17 hours. The metamaterial consisting of the new unit cell results in an increased SUP share of 4.32%. Validated by an expert surgeon study, this allows in combination with a displacement of the uppermost skin layer a good palpability of the bones. Tracking of the hand marker in dodecahedron design works trouble-free in conjunction with a reference marker attached to the worktop of the training system.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions: In this work, an optically tracked and haptically correct phantom hand was developed using dual-material 3D printing, which can be easily integrated into a surgical training system.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Surgery of congenital breast asymmetry - which objective parameter influences the subjective satisfaction with long-term results</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Purpose&#13;
Congenital breast asymmetry is a serious gynecological malformation for affected patients. The condition hits young women in puberty and is associated with socio-esthetic handicap, depression, and psychosexual problems. Surgical treatment is usually early in the patient's lifetime, so a long-term sustainable solution is important. Although postoperative outcome has been evaluated in several studies before, this study is the first to analyze which objective parameters have the greatest influence on subjective satisfaction with long-term results.&#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
Thirty-four patients diagnosed with congenital breast asymmetry that underwent either lipofilling or implant therapy between the years of 2008 to 2019 were examined. On average, our collective comprised patients seven years after surgery. Data were mainly gathered through manual measurements, patient-reported outcome measures (Breast Q™), and breast volumetry based on 3D scans (Vectra® H2, Canfield Scientific).&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
Among all analyzed parameters, only areolar diameter correlated significantly negatively with the subjective outcome satisfaction of the patient. Regarding the subjective assessment of postoperative satisfaction with similarity of the breasts, again the mean areolar diameter, but also the difference in areolar diameter and breast volume between the right and left breasts correlated significantly negatively.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion&#13;
Areolar diameter was revealed as being a significant factor influencing subjective long-term satisfaction in breast asymmetry patients. Moreover, 3D volumetry proves to be an effective tool to substantiate subjective patient assessments. Our findings may lead to further improvements to surgical planning and will be expanded in further studies.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">CT-basiertes virtuelles Fräsen am Felsenbein</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Im Rahmen der Entwicklung eines haptisch-visuellen Trainingssystems für das Fräsen am Felsenbein werden ein Haptikarm und ein autostereoskopischer 3D-Monitor genutzt, um Chirurgen die virtuelle Manipulation von knöchernen Strukturen im Kontext eines sog. Serious Game zu ermöglichen. Unter anderem sollen Assistenzärzte im Rahmen ihrer Ausbildung das Fräsen am Felsenbein für das chirurgische Einsetzen eines Cochlea-Implantats üben können. Die Visualisierung des virtuellen Fräsens muss dafür in Echtzeit und möglichst realistisch modelliert, implementiert und evaluiert werden. Wir verwenden verschiedene Raycasting Methoden mit linearer und Nearest Neighbor Interpolation und vergleichen die visuelle Qualität und die Bildwiederholfrequenzen der Methoden. Alle verglichenen Verfahren sind sind echtzeitfähig, unterscheiden sich aber in ihrer visuellen Qualität.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Force-Feedback-assisted Bone Drilling Simulation Based on CT Data</title>
    <abstract language="eng">In order to fix a fracture using minimally invasive surgery approaches, surgeons are drilling complex and tiny bones with a 2 dimensional X-ray as single imaging modality in the operating room. Our novel haptic force-feedback and visual assisted training system will potentially help hand surgeons to learn the drilling procedure in a realistic visual environment. Within the simulation, the collision detection as well as the interaction between virtual drill, bone voxels and surfaces are important. In this work, the chai3d collision detection and force calculation algorithms are combined with a physics engine to simulate the bone drilling process. The chosen Bullet-Physics-Engine provides a stable simulation of rigid bodies, if the collision model of the drill and the tool holder is generated as a compound shape. Three haptic points are added to the K-wire tip for removing single voxels from the bone. For the drilling process three modes are proposed to emulate the different phases of drilling in restricting the movement of a haptic device.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Computer-aided diagnosis using deep learning in the evaluation of early oesophageal adenocarcinoma</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Computer-aided diagnosis using deep learning (CAD-DL) may be an instrument to improve endoscopic assessment of Barrett’s oesophagus&#13;
(BE) and early oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Based on still images from two databases, the diagnosis of EAC by CAD-DL reached sensitivities/specificities of 97%/88% (Augsburg data) and 92%/100% (Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention [MICCAI]&#13;
data) for white light (WL) images and 94%/80% for narrow band images (NBI) (Augsburg data), respectively. Tumour margins delineated by&#13;
experts into images were detected satisfactorily with a Dice coefficient (D) of 0.72. This could be a first step towards CAD-DL for BE assessment. If developed further, it could become a useful&#13;
adjunctive tool for patient management.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">3D Analysis of Osteosyntheses Material using semi-automated CT Segmentation</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Backround&#13;
Scaphoidectomy and midcarpal fusion can be performed using traditional fixation methods like K-wires, staples, screws or different dorsal (non)locking arthrodesis systems. The aim of this study is to test the Aptus four corner locking plate and to compare the clinical findings to the data revealed by CT scans and semi-automated segmentation.&#13;
Methods:&#13;
This is a retrospective review of eleven patients suffering from scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) or scaphoid non-union advanced collapse (SNAC) wrist, who received a four corner fusion between August 2011 and July 2014. The clinical evaluation consisted of measuring the range of motion (ROM), strength and pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS). Additionally, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) and the Mayo Wrist Score were assessed. A computerized tomography (CT) of the wrist was obtained six weeks postoperatively. After semi-automated segmentation of the CT scans, the models were post processed and surveyed.&#13;
Results&#13;
During the six-month follow-up mean range of motion (ROM) of the operated wrist was 60°, consisting of 30° extension and 30° flexion. While pain levels decreased significantly, 54% of grip strength and 89% of pinch strength were preserved compared to the contralateral healthy wrist. Union could be detected in all CT scans of the wrist. While X-ray pictures obtained postoperatively revealed no pathology, two user related technical complications were found through the 3D analysis, which correlated to the clinical outcome.&#13;
Conclusion&#13;
Due to semi-automated segmentation and 3D analysis it has been proved that the plate design can keep up to the manufacturers’ promises. Over all, this case series confirmed that the plate can compete with the coexisting techniques concerning clinical outcome, union and complication rate.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Real-time detection and delineation of tissue during third-space endoscopy using artificial intelligence (AI)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
AI has proven great potential in assisting endoscopists in diagnostics, however its role in therapeutic endoscopy remains unclear. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a technically demanding intervention with a slow learning curve and relevant risks like bleeding and perforation. Therefore, we aimed to develop an algorithm for the real-time detection and delineation of relevant structures during third-space endoscopy.&#13;
&#13;
Methods &#13;
5470 still images from 59 full length videos (47 ESD, 12 POEM) were annotated. 179681 additional unlabeled images were added to the training dataset. Consequently, a DeepLabv3+ neural network architecture was trained with the ECMT semi-supervised algorithm (under review elsewhere). Evaluation of vessel detection was performed on a dataset of 101 standardized video clips from 15 separate third-space endoscopy videos with 200 predefined blood vessels.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
Internal validation yielded an overall mean Dice score of 85% (68% for blood vessels, 86% for submucosal layer, 88% for muscle layer). On the video test data, the overall vessel detection rate (VDR) was 94% (96% for ESD, 74% for POEM). The median overall vessel detection time (VDT) was 0.32 sec (0.3 sec for ESD, 0.62 sec for POEM).&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
Evaluation of the developed algorithm on a video test dataset showed high VDR and quick VDT, especially for ESD. Further research will focus on a possible clinical benefit of the AI application for VDR and VDT during third-space endoscopy.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Barrett's Esophagus Analysis Using SURF Features</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The development of adenocarcinoma in Barrett’s esophagus is difficult to detect by endoscopic surveillance of patients with signs of dysplasia. Computer assisted diagnosis of endoscopic images (CAD) could therefore be most helpful in the demarcation and classification of neoplastic lesions. In this study we tested the feasibility of a CAD method based on Speeded up Robust Feature Detection (SURF). A given database containing 100 images from 39 patients served as benchmark for feature based classification models. Half of the images had previously been diagnosed by five clinical experts as being ”cancerous”, the other half as ”non-cancerous”. Cancerous image regions had been visibly delineated (masked) by the clinicians. SURF features acquired from full images as well as from masked areas were utilized for the supervised training and testing of an SVM classifier. The predictive accuracy of the developed CAD system is illustrated by sensitivity and specificity values. The results based on full image matching where 0.78 (sensitivity) and 0.82 (specificity) were achieved, while the masked region approach generated results of 0.90 and 0.95, respectively.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Barrett’s Esophagus Analysis Using Convolutional Neural Networks</title>
    <abstract language="eng">We propose an automatic approach for early detection of adenocarcinoma in the esophagus. High-definition endoscopic images (50 cancer, 50 Barrett) are partitioned into a dataset containing approximately equal amounts of patches showing cancerous and non-cancerous regions. A deep convolutional neural network is adapted to the data using a transfer learning approach. The final classification of an image is determined by at least one patch, for which the probability being a cancer patch exceeds a given threshold. The model was evaluated with leave one patient out cross-validation. With sensitivity and specificity of 0.94 and 0.88, respectively, our findings improve recently published results on the same image data base considerably. Furthermore, the visualization of the class probabilities of each individual patch indicates, that our approach might be extensible to the segmentation domain.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Layer-selective deep representation to improve esophageal cancer classification</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Even though artiﬁcial intelligence and machine learning have demonstrated remarkable performances in medical image computing, their accountability and transparency level must be improved to transfer this success into clinical practice. The reliability of machine learning decisions must be explained and interpreted, especially for supporting the medical diagnosis.For this task, the deep learning techniques’ black-box nature must somehow be lightened up to clarify its promising results. Hence, we aim to investigate the impact of the ResNet-50 deep convolutional design for Barrett’s esophagus and adenocarcinoma classiﬁcation. For such a task, and aiming at proposing a two-step learning technique, the output of each convolutional layer that composes the ResNet-50 architecture was trained and classiﬁed for further deﬁnition of layers that would provide more impact in the architecture. We showed that local information and high-dimensional features are essential to improve the classiﬁcation for our task. Besides, we observed a signiﬁcant improvement when the most discriminative layers expressed more impact in the training and classiﬁcation of ResNet-50 for Barrett’s esophagus and adenocarcinoma classiﬁcation, demonstrating that both human knowledge and computational processing may inﬂuence the correct learning of such a problem.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Multimodal imaging for detection and segmentation of Barrett’s esophagus-related neoplasia using artificial intelligence</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The early diagnosis of cancer in Barrett’s esophagus is crucial for improving the prognosis. However, identifying Barrett’s esophagus-related neoplasia (BERN) is challenging, even for experts [1]. Four-quadrant biopsies may improve the detection of neoplasia, but they can be associated with sampling errors. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to the assessment of Barrett’s esophagus could improve the diagnosis of BERN, and this has been demonstrated in both preclinical and clinical studies [2] [3].&#13;
&#13;
In this video demonstration, we show the accurate detection and delineation of BERN in two patients ([Video 1]). In part 1, the AI system detects a mucosal cancer about 20 mm in size and accurately delineates the lesion in both white-light and narrow-band imaging. In part 2, a small island of BERN with high-grade dysplasia is detected and delineated in white-light, narrow-band, and texture and color enhancement imaging. The video shows the results using a transparent overlay of the mucosal cancer in real time as well as a full segmentation preview. Additionally, the optical flow allows for the assessment of endoscope movement, something which is inversely related to the reliability of the AI prediction. We demonstrate that multimodal imaging can be applied to the AI-assisted detection and segmentation of even small focal lesions in real time.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">A variational approach to vesicle membrane reconstruction from fluorescence imaging</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Biological applications like vesicle membrane analysis involve the precise segmentation of 3D structures in noisy volumetric data, obtained by techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or laser scanning microscopy (LSM). Dealing with such data is a challenging task and requires robust and accurate segmentation methods. In this article, we propose a novel energy model for 3D segmentation fusing various cues like regional intensity subdivision, edge alignment and orientation information. The uniqueness of the approach consists in the definition of a new anisotropic regularizer, which accounts for the unbalanced slicing of the measured volume data, and the generalization of an efficient numerical scheme for solving the arising minimization problem, based on linearization and fixed-point iteration. We show how the proposed energy model can be optimized globally by making use of recent continuous convex relaxation techniques. The accuracy and robustness of the presented approach are demonstrated by evaluating it on multiple real data sets and comparing it to alternative segmentation methods based on level sets. Although the proposed model is designed with focus on the particular application at hand, it is general enough to be applied to a variety of different segmentation tasks.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Optical Flow als Methode zur Qualitätssicherung KI-unterstützter Untersuchungen von Barrett-Ösophagus und Barrett-Ösophagus assoziierten Neoplasien</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Einleitung &#13;
Übermäßige Bewegung im Bild kann die Performance von auf künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) basierenden klinischen Entscheidungsunterstützungssystemen (CDSS) reduzieren. Optical Flow (OF) ist eine Methode zur Lokalisierung und Quantifizierung von Bewegungen zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Bildern.&#13;
&#13;
Ziel &#13;
Ziel ist es, die Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (HCI) zu verbessern und Endoskopiker die unser KI-System „Barrett-Ampel“ zur Unterstützung bei der Beurteilung von Barrett-Ösophagus (BE) verwenden, ein Echtzeit-Feedback zur aktuellen Datenqualität anzubieten.&#13;
&#13;
Methodik &#13;
Dazu wurden unveränderte Videos in „Weißlicht“ (WL), „Narrow Band Imaging“ (NBI) und „Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging“ (TXI) von acht endoskopischen Untersuchungen von histologisch gesichertem BE und mit Barrett-Ösophagus assoziierten Neoplasien (BERN) durch unseren KI-Algorithmus analysiert. Der zur Bewertung der Bildqualität verwendete OF beinhaltete die mittlere Magnitude und die Entropie des Histogramms der Winkel. Frames wurden automatisch extrahiert, wenn die vordefinierten Schwellenwerte von 3,0 für die mittlere Magnitude und 9,0 für die Entropie des Histogramms der Winkel überschritten wurden. Experten sahen sich zunächst die Videos ohne KI-Unterstützung an und bewerteten, ob Störfaktoren die Sicherheit mit der eine Diagnose im vorliegenden Fall gestellt werden kann negativ beeinflussen. Anschließend überprüften sie die extrahierten Frames.&#13;
&#13;
Ergebnis &#13;
Gleichmäßige Bewegung in eine Richtung, wie etwa beim Vorschieben des Endoskops, spiegelte sich, bei insignifikant veränderter Entropie, in einer Erhöhung der Magnitude wider. Chaotische Bewegung, zum Beispiel während dem Spülen, war mit erhöhter Entropie assoziiert. Insgesamt war eine unruhige endoskopische Darstellung, Flüssigkeit sowie übermäßige Ösophagusmotilität mit erhöhtem OF assoziiert und korrelierte mit der Meinung der Experten über die Qualität der Videos. Der OF und die subjektive Wahrnehmung der Experten über die Verwertbarkeit der vorliegenden Bildsequenzen korrelierten direkt proportional. Wenn die vordefinierten Schwellenwerte des OF überschritten wurden, war die damit verbundene Bildqualität in 94% der Fälle für eine definitive Interpretation auch für Experten unzureichend.&#13;
&#13;
Schlussfolgerung &#13;
OF hat das Potenzial Endoskopiker ein Echtzeit-Feedback über die Qualität des Dateninputs zu bieten und so nicht nur die HCI zu verbessern, sondern auch die optimale Performance von KI-Algorithmen zu ermöglichen.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) als Entscheidungsunterstützungssystem für nicht-Experten bei der Beurteilung von Barrett-Ösophagus assoziierten Neoplasien (BERN)</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Einleitung&#13;
Die sichere Detektion und Charakterisierung von Barrett-Ösophagus assoziierten Neoplasien (BERN) stellt selbst für erfahrene Endoskopiker eine Herausforderung dar.&#13;
&#13;
Ziel&#13;
Ziel dieser Studie ist es, den Add-on Effekt eines künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) Systems (Barrett-Ampel) als Entscheidungsunterstüzungssystem für Endoskopiker ohne Expertise bei der Untersuchung von BERN zu evaluieren.&#13;
&#13;
Material und Methodik&#13;
Zwölf Videos in „Weißlicht“ (WL), „narrow-band imaging“ (NBI) und „texture and color enhanced imaging“ (TXI) von histologisch bestätigten Barrett-Metaplasien oder BERN wurden von Experten und Untersuchern ohne Barrett-Expertise evaluiert. Die Probanden wurden dazu aufgefordert in den Videos auftauchende BERN zu identifizieren und gegebenenfalls die optimale Biopsiestelle zu markieren. Unser KI-System wurde demselben Test unterzogen, wobei dieses BERN in Echtzeit segmentierte und farblich von umliegendem Epithel differenzierte. Anschließend wurden den Probanden die Videos mit zusätzlicher KI-Unterstützung gezeigt. Basierend auf dieser neuen Information, wurden die Probanden zu einer Reevaluation ihrer initialen Beurteilung aufgefordert.&#13;
&#13;
Ergebnisse&#13;
Die „Barrett-Ampel“ identifizierte unabhängig von den verwendeten Darstellungsmodi (WL, NBI, TXI) alle BERN. Zwei entzündlich veränderte Läsionen wurden fehlinterpretiert (Genauigkeit=75%). Während Experten vergleichbare Ergebnisse erzielten (Genauigkeit=70,8%), hatten Endoskopiker ohne Expertise bei der Beurteilung von Barrett-Metaplasien eine Genauigkeit von lediglich 58,3%. Wurden die nicht-Experten allerdings von unserem KI-System unterstützt, erreichten diese eine Genauigkeit von 75%.&#13;
&#13;
Zusammenfassung&#13;
Unser KI-System hat das Potential als Entscheidungsunterstützungssystem bei der Differenzierung zwischen Barrett-Metaplasie und BERN zu fungieren und so Endoskopiker ohne entsprechende Expertise zu assistieren. Eine Limitation dieser Studie ist die niedrige Anzahl an eingeschlossenen Videos. Um die Ergebnisse dieser Studie zu bestätigen, müssen randomisierte kontrollierte klinische Studien durchgeführt werden.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">INFLUENCE OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) BASED DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DSS) ON THE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMANCE OF NON-EXPERTS IN BARRETT´S ESOPHAGUS RELATED NEOPLASIA (BERN)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims&#13;
Barrett´s esophagus related neoplasia (BERN) is difficult to detect and characterize during endoscopy, even for expert endoscopists. We aimed to assess the add-on effect of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm (Barrett-Ampel) as a decision support system (DSS) for non-expert endoscopists in the evaluation of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and BERN.&#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
Twelve videos with multimodal imaging white light (WL), narrow-band imaging (NBI), texture and color enhanced imaging (TXI) of histologically confirmed BE and BERN were assessed by expert and non-expert endoscopists. For each video, endoscopists were asked to identify the area of BERN and decide on the biopsy spot. Videos were assessed by the AI algorithm and regions of BERN were highlighted in real-time by a transparent overlay. Finally, endoscopists were shown the AI videos and asked to either confirm or change their initial decision based on the AI support.&#13;
&#13;
Results&#13;
Barrett-Ampel correctly identified all areas of BERN, irrespective of the imaging modality (WL, NBI, TXI), but misinterpreted two inflammatory lesions (Accuracy=75%). Expert endoscopists had a similar performance (Accuracy=70,8%), while non-experts had an accuracy of 58.3%. When AI was implemented as a DSS, non-expert endoscopists improved their diagnostic accuracy to 75%.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions&#13;
AI may have the potential to support non-expert endoscopists in the assessment of videos of BE and BERN. Limitations of this study include the low number of videos used. Randomized clinical trials in a real-life setting should be performed to confirm these results.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) – ASSISTED VESSEL AND TISSUE RECOGNITION IN THIRD-SPACE ENDOSCOPY</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Aims &#13;
Third-space endoscopy procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are complex interventions with elevated risk of operator-dependent adverse events, such as intra-procedural bleeding and perforation. We aimed to design an artificial intelligence clinical decision support solution (AI-CDSS, “Smart ESD”) for the detection and delineation of vessels, tissue structures, and instruments during third-space endoscopy procedures.&#13;
&#13;
Methods&#13;
Twelve full-length third-space endoscopy videos were extracted from the Augsburg University Hospital database. 1686 frames were annotated for the following categories: Submucosal layer, blood vessels, electrosurgical knife and endoscopic instrument. A DeepLabv3+neural network with a 101-layer ResNet backbone was trained and validated internally. Finally, the ability of the AI system to detect visible vessels during ESD and POEM was determined on 24 separate video clips of 7 to 46 seconds duration and showing 33 predefined vessels. These video clips were also assessed by an expert in third-space endoscopy.&#13;
&#13;
Results &#13;
Smart ESD showed a vessel detection rate (VDR) of 93.94%, while an average of 1.87 false positive signals were recorded per minute. VDR of the expert endoscopist was 90.1% with no false positive findings. On the internal validation data set using still images, the AI system demonstrated an Intersection over Union (IoU), mean Dice score and pixel accuracy of 63.47%, 76.18% and 86.61%, respectively.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions &#13;
This is the first AI-CDSS aiming to mitigate operator-dependent limitations during third-space endoscopy. Further clinical trials are underway to better understand the role of AI in such procedures.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Self-supervised 3D Vision Transformer Pre-training for Robust Brain Tumor Classification</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Brain tumors pose significant challenges in neurology, making precise classification crucial for prognosis and treatment planning. This work investigates the effectiveness of a self-supervised learning approach–masked autoencoding (MAE)–to pre-train a vision transformer (ViT) model for brain tumor classification. Our method uses non-domain specific data, leveraging the ADNI and OASIS-3 MRI datasets, which primarily focus on degenerative diseases, for pretraining. The model is subsequently fine-tuned and evaluated on the BraTS glioma and meningioma datasets, representing a novel use of these datasets for tumor classification. The pre-trained MAE ViT model achieves an average F1 score of 0.91 in a 5-fold cross-validation setting, outperforming the nnU-Net encoder trained from scratch, particularly under limited data conditions. These findings highlight the potential of self-supervised MAE in enhancing brain tumor classification accuracy, even with restricted labeled data.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">iRBSM: A Deep Implicit 3D Breast Shape Model</title>
    <abstract language="eng">We present the first deep implicit 3D shape model of the female breast, building upon and improving the recently proposed Regensburg Breast Shape Model (RBSM). Compared to its PCA-based predecessor, our model employs implicit neural representations; hence, it can be trained on raw 3D breast scans and eliminates the need for computationally demanding non-rigid registration, a task that is particularly difficult for feature-less breast shapes. The resulting model, dubbed iRBSM, captures detailed surface geometry including fine structures such as nipples and belly buttons, is highly expressive, and outperforms the RBSM on different surface reconstruction tasks. Finally, leveraging the iRBSM, we present a prototype application to 3D reconstruct breast shapes from just a single image.

    <title language="eng">Data Augmentation for Images of Chronic Foot Wounds</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Training data for Neural Networks is often scarce in the medical domain, which often results in models that struggle to generalize and consequently showpoor performance on unseen datasets. Generally, adding augmentation methods to the training pipeline considerably enhances a model’s performance. Using the dataset of the Foot Ulcer Segmentation Challenge, we analyze two additional augmentation methods in the domain of chronic foot wounds - local warping of wound edges along with projection and blurring of shapes inside wounds. Our experiments show that improvements in the Dice similarity coefficient and Normalized Surface Distance metrics depend on a sensible selection of those augmentation methods.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Artificial Intelligence (AI) – assisted vessel and tissue recognition during third space endoscopy (Smart ESD)</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Clinical setting &#13;
Third space procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are complex minimally invasive techniques with an elevated risk for operator-dependent adverse events such as bleeding and perforation. This risk arises from accidental dissection into the muscle layer or through submucosal blood vessels as the submucosal cutting plane within the expanding resection site is not always apparent. Deep learning algorithms have shown considerable potential for the detection and characterization of gastrointestinal lesions. So-called AI – clinical decision support solutions (AI-CDSS) are commercially available for polyp detection during colonoscopy. Until now, these computer programs have concentrated on diagnostics whereas an AI-CDSS for interventional endoscopy has not yet been introduced. We aimed to develop an AI-CDSS („Smart ESD“) for real-time intra-procedural detection and delineation of blood vessels, tissue structures and endoscopic instruments during third-space endoscopic procedures.&#13;
&#13;
Characteristics of Smart ESD &#13;
An AI-CDSS was invented that delineates blood vessels, tissue structures and endoscopic instruments during third-space endoscopy in real-time. The output can be displayed by an overlay over the endoscopic image with different modes of visualization, such as a color-coded semitransparent area overlay, or border tracing (demonstration video). Hereby the optimal layer for dissection can be visualized, which is close above or directly at the muscle layer, depending on the applied technique (ESD or POEM). Furthermore, relevant blood vessels (thickness&gt; 1mm) are delineated. Spatial proximity between the electrosurgical knife and a blood vessel triggers a warning signal. By this guidance system, inadvertent dissection through blood vessels could be averted.&#13;
&#13;
Technical specifications &#13;
A DeepLabv3+ neural network architecture with KSAC and a 101-layer ResNeSt backbone was used for the development of Smart ESD. It was trained and validated with 2565 annotated still images from 27 full length third-space endoscopic videos. The annotation classes were blood vessel, submucosal layer, muscle layer, electrosurgical knife and endoscopic instrument shaft. A test on a separate data set yielded an intersection over union (IoU) of 68%, a Dice Score of 80% and a pixel accuracy of 87%, demonstrating a high overlap between expert and AI segmentation. Further experiments on standardized video clips showed a mean vessel detection rate (VDR) of 85% with values of 92%, 70% and 95% for POEM, rectal ESD and esophageal ESD respectively. False positive measurements occurred 0.75 times per minute. 7 out of 9 vessels which caused intraprocedural bleeding were caught by the algorithm, as well as both vessels which required hemostasis via hemostatic forceps.&#13;
&#13;
Future perspectives &#13;
Smart ESD performed well for vessel and tissue detection and delineation on still images, as well as on video clips. During a live demonstration in the endoscopy suite, clinical applicability of the innovation was examined. The lag time for processing of the live endoscopic image was too short to be visually detectable for the interventionist. Even though the algorithm could not be applied during actual dissection by the interventionist, Smart ESD appeared readily deployable during visual assessment by ESD experts. Therefore, we plan to conduct a clinical trial in order to obtain CE-certification of the algorithm. This new technology may improve procedural safety and speed, as well as training of modern minimally invasive endoscopic resection techniques.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Barrett-Ampel</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Hintergrund &#13;
Adenokarzinome des Ösophagus sind bis heute mit einer infausten Prognose vergesellschaftet (1). Obwohl Endoskopiker mit Barrett-Ösophagus als Präkanzerose konfrontiert werden, ist vor allem für nicht-Experten die Differenzierung zwischen Barrett-Ösophagus ohne Dysplasie und assoziierten Neoplasien mitunter schwierig. Existierende Biopsieprotokolle (z.B. Seattle Protokoll) sind oftmals unzuverlässig (2). Eine frühzeitige Diagnose des Adenokarzinoms ist allerdings von fundamentaler Bedeutung für die Prognose des Patienten.&#13;
&#13;
Forschungsansatz &#13;
Auf der Grundlage dieser Problematik, entwickelten wir in Kooperation mit dem Forschungslabor „Regensburg Medical Image Computing (ReMIC)“ der OTH Regensburg ein auf künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) basiertes Entscheidungsunterstützungssystem (CDSS). Das auf einer DeepLabv3+ neuronalen Netzwerkarchitektur basierende CDSS differenziert mittels Mustererkennung Barrett- Ösophagus ohne Dysplasie von Barrett-Ösophagus mit Dysplasie bzw. Neoplasie („Klassifizierung“). Hierbei werden gemittelte Ausgabewahrscheinlichkeiten mit einem vom Benutzer definierten Schwellenwert verglichen. Für Vorhersagen, die den Schwellenwert überschreiten, berechnen wir die Kontur der Region und die Fläche. Sobald die vorhergesagte Läsion eine bestimmte Größe in der Eingabe überschreitet, heben wir sie und ihren Umriss hervor. So ermöglicht eine farbkodierte Visualisierung eine Abgrenzung zwischen Dysplasie bzw. Neoplasie und normalem Barrett-Epithel („Segmentierung“).&#13;
&#13;
In einer Studie an Bildern in „Weißlicht“ (WL) und „Narrow Band Imaging“ (NBI) demonstrierten wir eine Sensitivität von mehr als 90% und eine Spezifität von mehr als 80% (3). In einem nächsten Schritt, differenzierte unser KI-Algorithmus Barrett- Metaplasien von assoziierten Neoplasien anhand von zufällig abgegriffenen Bildern in Echtzeit mit einer Accuracy von 89.9% (4). Darauf folgend, entwickelten wir unser System dahingehend weiter, dass unser Algorithmus nun auch dazu in der Lage ist, Untersuchungsvideos in WL, NBI und „Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging“ (TXI) in Echtzeit zu analysieren (5).&#13;
&#13;
Aktuell führen wir eine Studie in einem randomisiert-kontrollierten Ansatz an unveränderten Untersuchungsvideos in WL, NBI und TXI durch.&#13;
&#13;
Ausblick &#13;
Um Patienten mit aus Barrett-Metaplasien resultierenden Neoplasien frühestmöglich an „High-Volume“-Zentren überweisen zu können, soll unser KI-Algorithmus zukünftig vor allem Endoskopiker ohne extensive Erfahrung bei der Beurteilung von Barrett- Ösophagus in der Krebsfrüherkennung unterstützen.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">Intraprozedurale Strukturerkennung bei Third-Space Endoskopie mithilfe eines Deep-Learning Algorithmus</title>
    <abstract language="deu">Einleitung&#13;
Third-Space Interventionen wie die endoskopische Submukosadissektion (ESD) und die perorale endoskopische Myotomie (POEM) sind technisch anspruchsvoll und mit einem erhöhten Risiko für intraprozedurale Komplikationen wie Blutung oder Perforation assoziiert. Moderne Computerprogramme zur Unterstützung bei diagnostischen Entscheidungen werden unter Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) in der Endoskopie bereits erfolgreich eingesetzt. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, relevante anatomische Strukturen mithilfe eines Deep-Learning Algorithmus zu detektieren und segmentieren, um die Sicherheit und Anwendbarkeit von ESD und POEM zu erhöhen.&#13;
&#13;
Methoden&#13;
Zwölf Videoaufnahmen in voller Länge von Third-Space Endoskopien wurden aus der Datenbank des Universitätsklinikums Augsburg extrahiert. 1686 Einzelbilder wurden für die Kategorien Submukosa, Blutgefäß, Dissektionsmesser und endoskopisches Instrument annotiert und segmentiert. Mit diesem Datensatz wurde ein DeepLabv3+neuronales Netzwerk auf der Basis eines ResNet mit 101 Schichten trainiert und intern anhand der Parameter Intersection over Union (IoU), Dice Score und Pixel Accuracy validiert. Die Fähigkeit des Algorithmus zur Gefäßdetektion wurde anhand von 24 Videoclips mit einer Spieldauer von 7 bis 46 Sekunden mit 33 vordefinierten Gefäßen evaluiert. Anhand dieses Tests wurde auch die Gefäßdetektionsrate eines Experten in der Third-Space Endoskopie ermittelt.&#13;
&#13;
Ergebnisse&#13;
Der Algorithmus zeigte eine Gefäßdetektionsrate von 93,94% mit einer mittleren Rate an falsch positiven Signalen von 1,87 pro Minute. Die Gefäßdetektionsrate des Experten lag bei 90,1% ohne falsch positive Ergebnisse. In der internen Validierung an Einzelbildern wurde eine IoU von 63,47%, ein mittlerer Dice Score von 76,18% und eine Pixel Accuracy von 86,61% ermittelt.&#13;
&#13;
Zusammenfassung&#13;
Dies ist der erste KI-Algorithmus, der für den Einsatz in der therapeutischen Endoskopie entwickelt wurde. Präliminäre Ergebnisse deuten auf eine mit Experten vergleichbare Detektion von Gefäßen während der Untersuchung hin. Weitere Untersuchungen sind nötig, um die Leistung des Algorithmus im Vergleich zum Experten genauer zu eruieren sowie einen möglichen klinischen Nutzen zu ermitteln.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">DeepCraftFuse: visual and deeply-learnable features work better together for esophageal cancer detection in patients with Barrett’s esophagus</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Limitations in computer-assisted diagnosis include lack of labeled data and inability to model the relation between what experts see and what computers learn. Even though artificial intelligence and machine learning have demonstrated remarkable performances in medical image computing, their accountability and transparency level must be improved to transfer this success into clinical practice. The reliability of machine learning decisions must be explained and interpreted, especially for supporting the medical diagnosis. While deep learning techniques are broad so that unseen information might help learn patterns of interest, human insights to describe objects of interest help in decision-making. This paper proposes a novel approach, DeepCraftFuse, to address the challenge of combining information provided by deep networks with visual-based features to significantly enhance the correct identification of cancerous tissues in patients affected with Barrett’s esophagus (BE). We demonstrate that DeepCraftFuse outperforms state-of-the-art techniques on private and public datasets, reaching results of around 95% when distinguishing patients affected by BE that is either positive or negative to esophageal cancer.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">TransConv: a lightweight architecture based on transformers and convolutional neural networks for adenocarcinoma and Barrett’s esophagus identification</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Barrett’s esophagus, also known as BE, is commonly associated with repeated exposure to stomach acid. If not treated properly, it may evolve into esophageal adenocarcinoma, aka esophageal cancer. This paper proposes TransConv, a hybrid architecture that benefits from features learned by pre-trained vision transformers (ViTs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), followed by a shallow neural network composed of three normalizations, ReLU activations, and fully connected layers, and a SoftMax head to distinguish between BE and esophageal cancer. TransConv is designed to be training-lightweight, and for the ViT and CNN backbone models, weights are kept frozen during training, i.e., the primary goal of TransConv is to learn the weights of the fully connected layer from both backbones only, avoiding the burden of updating their weights but still learning their final descriptions for the lightweight convolutional model. We report promising results with low computational training costs in two datasets, one public and another private. From our achievements, TransConv was able to deliver balanced accuracy results around 85% and 86% for each evaluated dataset, respectively, in a design that required only 50 epochs of model training, a very reduced number compared to state-of-the-art conducted studies in the same domain.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">OpenMIBOOD: Open Medical Imaging Benchmarks for Out-Of-Distribution Detection</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The growing reliance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in critical domains such as healthcare demands robust mechanisms to ensure the trustworthiness of these systems, especially when faced with unexpected or anomalous inputs. This paper introduces the Open Medical Imaging Benchmarks for Out-Of-Distribution Detection (OpenMIBOOD), a comprehensive framework for evaluating out-of-distribution (OOD) detection methods specifically in medical imaging contexts. OpenMIBOOD includes three benchmarks from diverse medical domains, encompassing 14 datasets divided into covariate-shifted in-distribution, nearOOD, and far-OOD categories. We evaluate 24 post-hoc methods across these benchmarks, providing a standardized reference to advance the development and fair comparison of OODdetection methods. Results reveal that findings from broad-scale OOD benchmarks in natural image domains do not translate to medical applications, underscoring the critical need for such benchmarks in the medical field. By mitigating the risk of exposing AI models to inputs outside their training distribution, OpenMIBOOD aims to support the advancement of reliable and trustworthy AI systems in healthcare.
