Virtual Chromoendscopy with Tunable Visibility Enhancement

Chromoendoscopy (CE) is a common clinical practice that sprays indigo carmine blue dye onto the gastric surface to improve the visibility of gastric lesions, such as an early cancer. While CE is effective in detecting the lesions, preparing and spraying the dye needs additional cost and time, which is undesirable both for patients and medical practitioners. To overcome this issue, virtual chromoendoscopy (V-CE) was recently proposed, which applies a learned image translation model to virtually…
