Article Abstract
Importance: Reading small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) videos is a tedious task for clinicians, and a new method should be applied to solve the situation.
Objectives: To develop and evaluate the performance of a convolutional neural network algorithm for SBCE video review in real-life clinical care.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this multicenter, retrospective diagnostic study, a deep learning neural network (SmartScan) was trained and validated for the SBCE video review. A total of 2927 SBCE examinations from 29 medical centers were used to train SmartScan to detect 17 types of CE structured terminology (CEST) findings from January 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. SmartScan was later validated with conventional reading (CR) and SmartScan-assisted reading (SSAR) in 2898 SBCE examinations collected from 22 medical centers. Data analysis was performed from January 25 to December 31, 2021.
Exposure: An artificial intelligence-based tool for interpreting clinical images of SBCE.
Main Outcomes And Measures: The detection rate and efficiency of CEST findings detected by SSAR and CR were compared.
Results: A total of 5825 SBCE examinations were retrospectively collected; 2898 examinations (1765 male participants [60.9%]; mean [SD] age, 49.8 [15.5] years) were included in the validation phase. From a total of 6084 CEST-classified SB findings, SSAR detected 5834 findings (95.9%; 95% CI, 95.4%-96.4%), significantly higher than CR, which detected 4630 findings (76.1%; 95% CI, 75.0%-77.2%). SmartScan-assisted reading achieved a higher per-patient detection rate (79.3% [2298 of 2898]) for CEST findings compared with CR (70.7% [2048 of 2298]; 95% CI, 69.0%-72.3%). With SSAR, the mean (SD) number of images (per SBCE video) requiring review was reduced to 779.2 (337.2) compared with 27 910.8 (12 882.9) with CR, for a mean (SD) reduction rate of 96.1% (4.3%). The mean (SD) reading time with SSAR was shortened to 5.4 (1.5) minutes compared with CR (51.4 [11.6] minutes), for a mean (SD) reduction rate of 89.3% (3.1%).
Conclusions And Relevance: This study suggests that a convolutional neural network-based algorithm is associated with an increased detection rate of SBCE findings and reduced SBCE video reading time.

Background: Small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is widely used to evaluate obscure gastrointestinal bleeding; however, its interpretation is time-consuming and reader-dependent. Although artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged to address these limitations, few models simultaneously perform small-bowel (SB) localization and abnormality detection.
Aim: To develop an AI model that automatically distinguishes the SB from the stomach and colon and diagnoses SB abnormalities.

Background And Aims: Visualization of lesions on small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) depends on capsule motility. The aim of this study was to assess the delineation of the ampulla of Vater (AoV) across different levels of expertise and reading speeds.
Methods: This was a study whereby de-identified SBCE videos were reviewed by scrolling with mouse wheel and then at a speed of 10 frames per second (10 fps).

Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has emerged in the past two decades as the cornerstone for assessing small bowel disorders, and its use is supported by several guidelines. However, there are several limitations, such as the considerable time required for gastroenterologists to review these videos and reach a diagnosis. To address these limitations, researchers have explored the integration of artificial intelligence in the interpretation of these videos.

Background/aims: Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has become the standard for initial evaluation in the diagnosis of small bowel lesions. Although optimal visualization of the mucosa is important, patients experience difficulty in consuming a large volume of bowel preparation agents. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of 1-L polyethylene glycol (PEG) with ascorbic acid (AA) and 2-L PEG with AA.
