A transfer-learning approach for lesion detection in endoscopic images from the urinary tract [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Ureteroscopy and cystoscopy are the gold standard methods to identify and treat tumors along the urinary tract. It has been reported that during a normal procedure a rate of 10-20 % of the lesions could be missed. In this work we study the implementation of 3 different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), using a 2-steps training strategy, to classify
