Artificial intelligence-based real-time histopathology of gastric cancer using confocal laser endomicroscopy

Abstract

There has been a persistent demand for an innovative modality in real-time histologic imaging, distinct from the conventional frozen section technique. We developed an artificial intelligence-driven real-time evaluation model for gastric cancer tissue using confocal laser endomicroscopic system. The remarkable performance of the model suggests its potential utilization as a standalone modality for instantaneous histologic assessment and as a complementary tool for pathologists’ interpretation.
