Core Tip
Core tip: To construct a computer-aided diagnosis system, a method to detect chronic atrophic gastritis from gastric X-ray images (GXIs) with a patch-based convolutional neural network is presented in this paper. The proposed method utilizes two GXI groups for training: a manual annotation group and an automatic annotation group. The manual annotation group consists of GXIs for which we manually annotate the stomach regions, and the automatic annotation group consists of GXIs for which we automatically estimate the stomach regions. By utilizing GXIs with the stomach regions for training, the proposed method enables chronic atrophic gastritis detection that automatically eliminates the negative effect of the outside regions.
