Colonoscopy video processing for quality metrics determination

A computer-based method that allows automated measurement of a number of metrics that likely reflect the quality of a colonoscopic procedure. The method is based on analysis of a digitized video file created during colonoscopy, and produces information regarding insertion time, withdrawal time, images at the time of maximal intubation, the time and ratio of clear versus blurred or non-informative images, and a first estimate of effort performed by the endoscopist. As these metrics can be obtained automatically, the method allows future quality control in the day-to-day medical practice setting on a large scale. In addition, the method can be adapted to other healthcare procedures. The method may be useful to assess progress during colonoscopy training, or as part of endoscopic skills assessment evaluations.

Automated self-propelling endoscope

InactiveUS20040260150A1Minimal alterationHighly effective self-propellingSurgeryEndoscopesExternal applicationEngineering
An improved mechanism for an automated self-propelling endoscope. The system augments the conventional "proximal-push" mechanism commonly used in colonoscopy with an innovative "distal-pull" mechanism. The distal-pull mechanism includes external application of a force at the proximal end of the endoscope that is translated into force that is exerted upon and moves the distal (leading) end of the scope further into the colon.

Real-time intestinal tract cleanliness scoring system and method based on artificial intelligence

The invention discloses a real-time intestinal tract cleanliness scoring system and method based on artificial intelligence. By adopting the system and method, bowel preparation quality examined by aclinical colonoscope is monitored in real time, and scoring display is carried out at a client; and the constituent ratio of each score and the cleanliness of an examined intestinal segment within each 30 s are represented. On one hand, the bowel preparation quality condition of a patient operated by a physician can be more objectively and directly expressed in a quantitative manner, and the workload and scoring errors of endoscopic physicians are reduced, so that the error evaluation of endoscopic examination quality is reduced and the interval of reexamination of colonoscope examination isrecommended; on the other hand, medical institutions can more objectively and directly know about the bowel preparation quality, so that the quality control work can be done effectively, the intestinal tract cleaning quality is rapidly improved, the adenoma detection rate is reduced, and early detection and early treatment of precancerous lesions of intestinal tracts are realized; and more importantly, the development of the system facilitates scientific inquiry for subsequent influences on bowel preparation schemes by different intestinal tract preparations.

Colonoscope Guide and Method of Use for Improved Colonoscopy

InactiveUS20100280318A1Rigid enoughAdvancement easySurgeryEndoscopesEndoscopeSoft liner
A guide and method for tilting a colonoscope in the rectum leftward toward the descending colon to advance the colonoscope through the colon during colonoscopy. The guide comprises a rigid elongated body member and a handle attached to or integral with the body member. The body member has an insertion length selected so as to not be inserted past the patient's rectum. The body member can be curved or tubular to better engage the colonoscope. A soft liner can be utilized to protect the endoscope during use. Preferably, the body member has a semi-circular cross-section with a flexible inner tubular member attached thereto that receives the endoscope. A longitudinal slot facilitates loading the endoscope into the tubular member. In another embodiment, the body member comprises upper and lower rigid body members connected by an engaging mechanism. The user tilts the colonoscope with the guide to minimize or avoid sigmoid looping.
