Contact Endoscopy - Narrow Band Imaging (CE-NBI) data set for laryngeal lesion assessment.

ABSTRACT: The endoscopic examination of subepithelial vascular patterns within the vocal fold is crucial for clinicians seeking to distinguish between benign lesions and laryngeal cancer. Among innovative techniques, Contact Endoscopy combined with Narrow Band Imaging (CE-NBI) offers real-time visualization of these vascular structures. Despite the advent of CE-NBI, concerns have arisen regarding the subjective interpretation of its images. As a result, several computer-based solutions have been developed to address this issue. This study introduces the CE-NBI data set, the first publicly accessible data set that features enhanced and magnified visualizations of subepithelial blood vessels within the vocal fold. This data set encompasses 11144 images from 210 adult patients with pathological vocal fold conditions, where CE-NBI images are annotated using three distinct label categories. The data set has proven invaluable for numerous clinical assessments geared toward diagnosing laryngeal cancer using Optical Biopsy. Furthermore, given its versatility for various image analysis tasks, we have devised and implemented diverse image classification scenarios using Machine Learning (ML) approaches to address critical clinical challenges in assessing laryngeal lesions.

Project description:BackgroundEndoscopic ultrasonography is an effective endoscopic examination method for determining the depth of colorectal cancer invasion. Narrow-band imaging (NBI) techniques increase the contrast of vascular structures and more clearly highlight subtle structures on mucosal surfaces, thereby improving the accuracy of endoscopic assessment. This study investigated the diagnostic efficacy of NBI in colorectal laterally spreading tumor (LST) and its submucosal invasion.MethodsA total of 224 patients with colorectal LST admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University from January 2015 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into NBI and endoscopic ultrasonography groups according to the different examination methods they received. Subsequently, the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients were collected, and the rates of submucosal invasion of the four subtypes (LST-G-H, LST-G-NM, LST-NG-F, LST-NG-PD) were compared between the two groups. Also, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of judging the depth of LST lesions of the two examination methods were compared, taking the results of pathological tissue examination as the gold standard.ResultsThis study enrolled 224 patients with LST (mean onset age: 57.98±6.48 years), including 123 males and 101 females. In terms of tumor location, 21 cases were located in the cecum, 22 cases in the ascending colon, 38 cases in the transverse colon, 11 cases in the descending colon, 12 cases in the descending sigmoid junction, 23 cases in the sigmoid colon, and 97 cases in the rectum. The sizes of the tumors ranged from 18.81 to 52.88 mm. Moreover, there were 21 cases of lesion infiltration into the submucosa, and the infiltration rate was 9.38%. Furthermore, the accuracy of NBI in diagnosing colorectal LST was significantly higher than that of endoscopic ultrasonography (87.05% vs. 57.14%); NBI was more accurate than endoscopic ultrasonography in the preoperative diagnosis of LST lesion depth in the rectal, non-rectal, granular (LST-G), non-granular (LST-NG), <40, and ≥40 mm groups.ConclusionsGastrointestinal NBI has a superior accuracy rate and value than endoscopic ultrasonography in diagnosing colorectal LST, tumor lesion depth, and submucosal invasion. Therefore, gastrointestinal NBI deserves to be promoted in clinical work.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognostic value of positive surgical margins after transoral laser microsurgery (TOLM) is still under debate. In case of positive superficial margins, some experts recommend a second-look surgery (SL) and some recommend wait and watch approach with close observation. Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an advanced imaging system used to enhance visualization of mucosal vascular pattern. In laryngology, NBI is used to improve the detection of premalignant, dysplastic and malignant lesions.AimTo assess the usefulness of NBI imaging in guiding clinical decision making regarding follow-up plan and SL after TOLM.Materials and methodsA prospective cohort of 127 patients was divided into three groups based on the histology results and NBI vascular pattern of the mucosa. Group A (24/127, 18.90%) consisted of patients with suspicious vascular pattern in NBI or/and with positive deep margin. Group B (52/127, 40.94%) consisted of patients with positive or uncertain superficial margins and non-suspicious vascular pattern in NBI. Group C (51/127, 40.15%) had non-suspicious vascular NBI pattern and all negative margins.ResultsAfter the first TOLM procedure, 9/24 (37.5%) patients had positive deep margins, 1/24 (4.2%) had uncertain deep margin and 1/24 patient (4.2%) had both positive deep margin and suspicious vascular pattern in NBI. The remaining 13 cases in Group A had a suspicious NBI finding only during the first follow-up. All of the 24 patients (Group A) underwent a second look surgery. The final histology after SL showed squamous cell carcinoma in 10/24 (41.7%) patients. All 10 patients had suspicious vascular pattern in NBI and one patient had both a positive deep margins after the first TOLM and positive NBI finding. None of Group B and C subjects developed an early recurrence.ConclusionsOur study provides evidence that NBI imaging will be a useful adjunct to margin status after TOLM and will facilitate clinical decision-making regarding performing the SL in patients with positive or uncertain superficial surgical margins in the first TOLM procedure. However, additional investigation with more subjects is required at this time to further validate this technique and change the standard of care.
