AI Technical Summary
Current gastric cancer screening methods, particularly in developing countries, are limited due to a shortage of endoscopists, and existing wireless capsule endoscopes lack closed-loop motion control, leading to insufficient maneuverability, inefficient diagnosis, and high surgeon workload.
An automated gastric screening method using a magnetically actuated capsule endoscope with AI-based detection and a closed-loop motion controller, employing a fuzzy PID controller, Faster-RCNN for detection, and a 6D magnetic positioning strategy to navigate and capture images of the stomach's major parts.
Reduces screening duration and surgeon workload while ensuring accurate and reliable diagnostic results by enabling comprehensive gastric screening with closed-loop motion control and AI-assisted detection.
