DIAGNOSTIC ASSISTANCE METHOD, DIAGNOSTIC ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, DIAGNOSTIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING THEREIN DIAGNOSTIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR DISEASE BASED ON ENDOSCOPIC IMAGE OF DIGESTIVE ORGAN

摘要

A diagnostic assistance method for a disease based on an endoscopic image of a digestive organ with use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) trains the CNN using a first endoscopic image of the digestive organ and at least one final diagnosis result of the positivity or the negativity for the disease in the digestive organ, or information corresponding to a severity level, the final diagnosis result being corresponding to the first endoscopic image, and the trained CNN outputs at least one of a probability of the positivity and/or the negativity for the disease in the digestive organ, a severity level of the disease, or a probability corresponding to the invasion depth (infiltration depth) of the disease, based on a second endoscopic image of the digestive organ.
