用手机拍照识别大便是否含血,助力结直肠癌早筛。

Stool Recognition for Colorectal Cancer Detection through Deep Learning

  • 用生成对抗网络合成真实大便图像,扩充小样本数据集。
  • 模型准确率达94%,可实时判断粪便中是否有隐血。
  • 已集成到移动端应用,方便用户自测并及时就医。

结直肠癌是新加坡最常见的癌症,也是全球第三大常见癌症。粪便隐血是该病的典型症状,通常通过粪便潜血试验(FOBT)检测。但该方法存在取样繁琐、等待时间长达两周且费用较高问题。本研究提出一种简单、快速、免费的替代方案:基于深度学习的粪便识别神经网络,仅需一张粪便图像即可判断是否存在血液(提示结直肠癌风险)。由于该分类任务数据稀缺,我们训练了多种生成对抗网络(GAN),包括DiffAugment StyleGAN2、DCGAN和条件GAN,用于生成高保真度的粪便图像以扩充数据集。最终采用生成效果最佳的DiffAugment StyleGAN2所生成图像,在训练时动态拼接至分类器批次中,使模型准确率提升至94%。该模型已部署于移动端应用Poolice,用户可拍摄粪便照片即时获取结果,若发现隐血则提醒尽快就医。早筛可救命,我们希望该应用能帮助更多人实现结直肠癌早期发现,提高治愈率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Colorectal cancer is the most common cancer in Singapore and the third most common cancer worldwide. Blood in a person's stool is a symptom of this disease, and it is usually detected by the faecal occult blood test (FOBT). However, the FOBT presents several limitations - the collection process for the stool samples is tedious and unpleasant, the waiting period for results is about 2 weeks and costs are involved. In this research, we propose a simple-to-use, fast and cost-free alternative - a stool recognition neural network that determines if there is blood in one's stool (which indicates a possible risk of colorectal cancer) from an image of it. As this is a new classification task, there was limited data available, hindering classifier performance. Hence, various Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) (DiffAugment StyleGAN2, DCGAN, Conditional GAN) were trained to generate images of high fidelity to supplement the dataset. Subsequently, images generated by the GAN with the most realistic images (DiffAugment StyleGAN2) were concatenated to the classifier's training batch on-the-fly, improving accuracy to 94%. This model was then deployed to a mobile app - Poolice, where users can take a photo of their stool and obtain instantaneous results if there is blood in their stool, prompting those who do to seek medical advice. As "early detection saves lives", we hope our app built on our stool recognition neural network can help people detect colorectal cancer earlier, so they can seek treatment and have higher chances of survival.
