Abstract
This is the first study in which a computer algorithm for BE neoplasia was developed based on VLE images with direct histologic correlates. The algorithm showed good performance to detect BE neoplasia in ex vivo VLE images compared with the performance of a recently developed clinical VLE prediction score. This study suggests that an automatic detection algorithm has the potential to assist endoscopists in detecting early neoplasia on VLE. Future studies on in vivo VLE scans are needed to further validate the algorithm.
