Helicobacter pylori (HP) have chronically infected more than half of the world's population and is a cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma. The manual detection of HP in a glass slide with a microscope is extremely time-consuming and might miss at least 14% of HP-positive cases due to eye fatigue of pathologists. Here, a total of 270 gastric biopsy specimens were selected. All stained slides were scanned for analysis by the Faster-R-CNN with ResNet 50 or VGG16, then the model performance was evaluated. Furthermore, the real-time microscopic field, smartphone and AI algorithm were connected through 5G networks and the AI results were sent back to the smartphone for confirmation by the pathologists. Finally, the diagnoses of different pathologists with/without AI assistance were compared. As results, we present a deep learning framework (the Faster-R-CNN with ResNet 50) which can automatically detect HP of gastric biopsies and achieve 89.23% accuracy. We found the real-time system can effectively improve the consistency and accuracy of diagnosis among different pathologists in detecting HP because of real-time alert for lesions with sounds and labels. Thus we concluded that our smartphone-aided detection system by deep learning is the first real-time AI-assisted diagnostic tool for Helicobacter pylori screening. It can be used with a traditional microscope, does not interfere the pathologist's perspective during routine slide diagnosis, and does not add extra steps or observation time for pathologists.
幽门螺杆菌(HP)已慢性感染全球半数以上人口,是慢性胃炎、消化性溃疡和胃癌的病因。在载玻片上用显微镜人工检测HP极其耗时,且由于病理学家的眼睛疲劳,可能会漏诊至少14%的HP阳性病例。在此,共选取了270份胃活检标本。所有染色玻片均通过带有ResNet 50或VGG16的Faster-R-CNN进行扫描分析,然后评估模型性能。此外,通过5G网络将实时显微镜视野、智能手机和人工智能算法连接起来,将人工智能结果发送回智能手机供病理学家确认。最后,比较了有无人工智能辅助时不同病理学家的诊断结果。结果显示,我们提出了一个深度学习框架(带有ResNet 50的Faster-R-CNN),它可以自动检测胃活检中的HP,准确率达到89.23%。我们发现,由于对病变进行声音和标签实时警报,该实时系统可以有效提高不同病理学家在检测HP时诊断的一致性和准确性。因此我们得出结论,我们的深度学习智能手机辅助检测系统是首个用于幽门螺杆菌筛查的实时人工智能辅助诊断工具。它可以与传统显微镜配合使用,在常规玻片诊断过程中不干扰病理学家的视野,也不会给病理学家增加额外的步骤或观察时间。
