Wireless Capsule Endoscopy

Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is a clinically viable and cost-effective alternative to traditional imaging methods of the gastrointestinal tract. CCE provides several benefits to patients, clinicians, and the healthcare system, including adding urgently needed capacity to markedly strained services. Analysing CCE videos, however, is resource intensive, represents a time-consuming workload for clinicians, and slows the roll-out of CCE due to staffing constraints.

The main objective of this research project is the development of tools to support the diagnosis of different pathologies through the use of Artificial Intelligence techniques and Machine Learning techniques.
