Patch-based classification of gallbladder wall vascularity from laparoscopic images using deep learning.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:In this study, we propose a deep learning approach for assessment of gallbladder (GB) wall vascularity from images of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Difficulty in the visualization of GB wall vessels may be the result of fatty infiltration or increased thickening of the GB wall, potentially as a result of cholecystitis or other diseases. METHODS:The dataset included 800 patches and 181 region outlines of the GB wall extracted from 53 operations of the Cholec80 video collection. The GB regions and patches were annotated by two expert surgeons using two labeling schemes: 3 classes (low, medium and high vascularity) and 2 classes (low vs. high). Two convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures were investigated. Preprocessing (vessel enhancement) and post-processing (late fusion of CNN output) techniques were applied. RESULTS:The best model yielded accuracy 94.48% and 83.77% for patch classification into 2 and 3 classes, respectively. For the GB wall regions, the best model yielded accuracy 91.16% (2 classes) and 80.66% (3 classes). The inter-observer agreement was 91.71% (2 classes) and 78.45% (3 classes). Late fusion analysis allowed the computation of spatial probability maps, which provided a visual representation of the probability for each vascularity class across the GB wall region. CONCLUSIONS:This study is the first significant step forward to assess the vascularity of the GB wall from intraoperative images based on computer vision and deep learning techniques. The classification performance of the CNNs was comparable to the agreement of two expert surgeons. The approach may be used for various applications such as for classification of LC operations and context-aware assistance in surgical education and practice.
