RNNSLAM: Reconstructing the 3D colon to visualize missing regions during a colonoscopy
Medical image analysis, 2021•Elsevier
Colonoscopy is the gold standard for pre-cancerous polyps screening and treatment. The
polyp detection rate is highly tied to the percentage of surveyed colonic surface. However,
current colonoscopy technique cannot guarantee that all the colonic surface is well
examined because of incomplete camera orientations and of occlusions. The missing
regions can hardly be noticed in a continuous first-person perspective. Therefore, a useful
contribution would be an automatic system that can compute missing regions from an …

Abstract
Colonoscopy is the gold standard for pre-cancerous polyps screening and treatment. The polyp detection rate is highly tied to the percentage of surveyed colonic surface. However, current colonoscopy technique cannot guarantee that all the colonic surface is well examined because of incomplete camera orientations and of occlusions. The missing regions can hardly be noticed in a continuous first-person perspective. Therefore, a useful contribution would be an automatic system that can compute missing regions from an endoscopic video in real-time and alert the endoscopists when a large missing region is detected. We present a novel method that reconstructs dense chunks of a 3D colon in real time, leaving the unsurveyed part unreconstructed. The method combines a standard SLAM system with a depth and pose prediction network to achieve much more robust tracking and less drift. It addresses the difficulties for colonoscopic images of existing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems and end-to-end deep learning methods.
