Table 4 Convolutional neural network-based real-time artificial intelligence support and workflow integration in gastrointestinal endoscopy
| Data | Architecture | Application | Key findings | Ref. |
| Gastroscopy images | Real-time anatomical classification with CNN | Real-time anatomical recognition during gastroscopy procedures | CNN accurately classified anatomical positions in real-time, reducing mislabeling and improving procedural documentation. Enabled smoother workflow integration with minimal latency | [150] |
| Gastroscopy videos | Frame-wise CNN classification | Automated disease detection during endoscopy video review | The system provided real-time frame classification, improving detection of GI abnormalities in long video sequences and assisting in efficient case triage | [151] |
| White-light endoscopy | CNN for real-time Helicobacter pylori status | Immediate assessment of Helicobacter pylori infection during endoscopy | Real-time feedback from the CNN allowed on-the-spot therapeutic decision-making and eliminated delays caused by biopsy processing | [113] |
| Esophagogastroduodenoscopy videos | CNN-based detection system integrated with endoscope | Real-time detection of gastroesophageal varices | The system was validated across multiple centers and significantly reduced miss rates of varices in real-time, enhancing early intervention | [152] |
| Colonoscopic images | Deep CNN classifier for anatomical site recognition | Automated real-time anatomical classification of colon images | CNN correctly labeled anatomical sites, reducing reliance on user memory and ensuring consistent documentation. Improved novice performance | [153] |
| Upper GI endoscopy | CNN detection assistant in randomised controlled trial | Detection of gastric neoplasms during routine procedures | A deep learning-based system reduced miss rate of gastric neoplasms significantly in a randomized controlled trial. Validated real-world clinical benefit | [154] |
| Upper GI anatomy images | Multi-task CNN model | Simultaneous detection of anatomical landmarks and structures | Model performed both classification and segmentation, improving navigation and assisting less experienced users in orientation | [155] |
| Esophagogastroduodenoscopy images | CNN trained on large anatomical dataset | Real-time classification of esophagogastroduodenoscopy anatomy | CNN classified images with expert-level accuracy, aiding report generation and training in real-time | [141] |
| GI endoscopy videos | CNN vs global feature comparison | Real-time disease detection efficiency benchmarking | CNNs proved significantly more accurate than traditional global features. Demonstrated readiness for real-time clinical deployment | [156] |
| GI tract videos | CNN with automated reporting module | End-to-end disease detection and report generation | Automatically generated reports based on real-time CNN classification, reducing documentation time and enhancing standardization | [157] |
