Ding et al.20194,206 abnormalities in 3,280 patientsTo analyze SB-CE images with greater accuracy and sensitivity than conventional methods99.88% sensitivity in the per-patient analysis (95% confidence interval [CI], 99.67–99.96)
Aoki et al.2019113,426,569 images from 6,970 patientsTo develop a CNN-based algorithm that could automatically detect erosions and ulcers from capsule endoscopic imagesWith 99.88% sensitivity in the per-patient analysis (95% CI, 99.67–99.96) and 99.90% sensitivity in the per-lesion analysis (95% CI, 99.74–99.97)
Klang et al.201917,640 CE images from 49 patientsTo evaluate a deep learning algorithm for the automated detection of small-bowel ulcers in Crohn’s disease (CD) on capsule endoscopy (CE) imagesAUCs (area under the curve of 0.99 and accuracies ranging from 95.4–96.7%
Klang et al.202127,892 CE imagesTo prove the ability of deep neural networks to identify intestinal strictures on CE images of Crohn’s disease (CD) patientsA differentiation between strictures and normal mucosa (area under the curve [AUC], 0.989)
Barash et al.202117,640 CE images from 49 patientsTo develop a deep learning algorithm for automated grading of CD ulcers on CEThe accuracy of the algorithm was 0.91 (95% CI) for distinction of 3 different grades
