Abstract 174P

Background

Application of computer and artificial intelligence (AI) has made revolutionary progress in medical fields. Computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) on pathology is successful in diagnosis, classification, staging and predicting prognosis of cancer.

Methods

In this work, we used the technique of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for training of morphological images of gastric cancer, which is a promising application of artificial intelligence technique for medical image analysis, especially for cancer pathology.

Results

We introduced successful works of AI-aided gastric cancer analysis for over 300 cases. AI-assisted pathology technique could help the pathologist in detecting and locating the abnormal area in images and to diagnose and classify benign or malignant tissues. Therefore, AI exactly improves the diagnostic status of gastric cancer, such as in interpretation of medical images and classification between benign and cancerous tissues. The complete workflow of AI diagnosis for gastric cancer is under construction. AI is more useful in releasing pathologists from repeated work, and improving efficiency.

Conclusions

In conclusions, there are still notable technical obstacles before this approach can be used to improve conventional clinical practice. Higher performance needs corrected marking images by experienced pathologist and require ‘training’ algorithms on tremendous data. We stressed the importance of proper algorithms for improving confidence of analytic results that is close to human experts. Additionally, we indicated the gaps in current research and principal resolutions for advancing the field.
