The purpose of this study is to develop a quantitative approach that enables an accurate and objective measurement of polyp size and to study the feasibility of the method.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We attempted to estimate polyp size and location relative to the gastro-oesophageal junction by integrating data from an electromagnetic tracking sensor and endoscopic images. This method is based on estimation of the three-dimensional coordinates of the borders of the polyp by combining the endoscope camera position and the corresponding points along the polyp border in endoscopic images using a computer vision-based algorithm. We evaluated the proposed method using a simulated upper gastrointestinal endoscopy model.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The difference between the mean of ten measurements of one artificial polyp and its actual size (10\u00a0mm in diameter) was 0.86\u00a0mm. Similarly, the difference between the mean of ten measurements of the polyp distance from the gastroesophageal junction and its actual distance (~\u200922\u00a0cm) was 1.28\u00a0mm. Our results show that the changes in camera positions in which the images were taken and the quality of the polyp segmentation have the most impact on the accuracy of polyp size estimation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study demonstrated an innovative approach to endoscopic measurements using motion tracking technologies and computer vision and demonstrated its accuracy in determining the size and location of the polyp. The observed magnitude of error is clinically acceptable, and the measurements are available immediately after the images captured. To enhance accuracy, it is recommended to avoid identical images and instead utilise control wheels on the endoscope for capturing different views. Future work should further evaluate this innovative method during clinical endoscopic procedures.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11548-023-03011-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,19]],"date-time":"2023-08-19T02:01:46Z","timestamp":1692410506000},"page":"321-329","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Endoscopic measurement of the size of gastrointestinal polyps using an electromagnetic tracking system and computer vision-based algorithm"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Nazanin","family":"Safavian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon K.
