Abstract
Background and aims: Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is limited by lengthy, variable interpretation. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a transformative approach, enabling faster and more accurate lesion detection. This multicenter study aimed to validate an AI model for ulcers and erosions across different SBCE devices.
Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional cohort study was conducted from 2021 to 2024, involving centers in Europe and the USA. Two SBCE devices (PillCamSB3™ and Olympus EC-10®) were used. The performance of AI-assisted reading, generated by a deep learning model, was compared with standard-of-care (SoC) reading using a reference standard defined by an independent review board. The study utilized two SBCE devices (PillCamSB3™, Olympus EC-10®) and analyzed 259 SBCE exams. The performance of AI-assisted reading generated by the deep learning model was compared with standard of care (SoC) reading against a reference standard defined by an independent review board.
Results: Ulcers and erosions were detected in 93 patients (35.9%). SoC had 69.6% sensitivity, 99.4% specificity, 98.5% PPV, 85.6% NPV, and 88.8% accuracy. AI-assisted reading detected ulcers and erosions with 90.2% sensitivity, 84.4% specificity, 76.1% PPV, 94.0% NPV, and 86.5% accuracy. The detection yield of AI-assisted reading was superior (p<0.001) to conventional SoC reading. The AI-assisted physician SBCE reading identified 568 lesions out of 600 identified by expert board review (94.7%). The median AI-assisted CE reporting time was 172 seconds per exam.
Conclusions: The AI-assisted SBCE reading achieved superior diagnostic performance compared to SoC, with a substantial decrease in reading time.
