Deployment and assessment of a deep learning model for real-time detection of anal precancer with high frame rate high-resolution microendoscopy.

ABSTRACT: Anal cancer incidence is significantly higher in people living with HIV as HIV increases the oncogenic potential of human papillomavirus. The incidence of anal cancer in the United States has recently increased, with diagnosis and treatment hampered by high loss-to-follow-up rates. Novel methods for the automated, real-time diagnosis of AIN 2+ could enable "see and treat" strategies, reducing loss-to-follow-up rates. A previous retrospective study demonstrated that the accuracy of a high-resolution microendoscope (HRME) coupled with a deep learning model was comparable to expert clinical impression for diagnosis of AIN 2+ (sensitivity 0.92 [P = 0.68] and specificity 0.60 [P = 0.48]). However, motion artifacts and noise led to many images failing quality control (17%). Here, we present a high frame rate HRME (HF-HRME) with improved image quality, deployed in the clinic alongside a deep learning model and evaluated prospectively for detection of AIN 2+ in real-time. The HF-HRME reduced the fraction of images failing quality control to 4.6% by employing a high frame rate camera that enhances contrast and limits motion artifacts. The HF-HRME outperformed the previous HRME (P < 0.001) and clinical impression (P < 0.0001) in the detection of histopathologically confirmed AIN 2+ with a sensitivity of 0.91 and specificity of 0.87.

Project description:Background and aimsHigh-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) is an optical biopsy technology that provides subcellular imaging of esophageal mucosa but requires expert interpretation of these histopathology-like images. We compared endoscopists with an automated software algorithm for detection of esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN) and evaluated the endoscopists' accuracy with and without input from the software algorithm.MethodsThirteen endoscopists (6 experts, 7 novices) were trained and tested on 218 post-hoc HRME images from 130 consecutive patients undergoing ESCN screening/surveillance. The automated software algorithm interpreted all images as neoplastic (high-grade dysplasia, ESCN) or non-neoplastic. All endoscopists provided their interpretation (neoplastic or non-neoplastic) and confidence level (high or low) without and with knowledge of the software overlay highlighting abnormal nuclei and software interpretation. The criterion standard was histopathology consensus diagnosis by 2 pathologists.ResultsThe endoscopists had a higher mean sensitivity (84.3%, standard deviation [SD] 8.0% vs 76.3%, P = .004), lower specificity (75.0%, SD 5.2% vs 85.3%, P < .001) but no significant difference in accuracy (81.1%, SD 5.2% vs 79.4%, P = .26) of ESCN detection compared with the automated software algorithm. With knowledge of the software algorithm, the specificity of the endoscopists increased significantly (75.0% to 80.1%, P = .002) but not the sensitivity (84.3% to 84.8%, P = .75) or accuracy (81.1% to 83.1%, P = .13). The increase in specificity was among novices (P = .008) but not experts (P = .11).ConclusionsThe software algorithm had lower sensitivity but higher specificity for ESCN detection than endoscopists. Using computer-assisted diagnosis, the endoscopists maintained high sensitivity while increasing their specificity and accuracy compared with their initial diagnosis. Automated HRME interpretation would facilitate widespread usage in resource-poor areas where this portable, low-cost technology is needed.
