Study summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure, but it carries the potential for bile duct injury and other surgical risks. To provide visual assistance to surgeons during surgery and mitigate these risks, this research project aims to develop a real-time object recognition algorithm based on deep learning technology. This algorithm will label key anatomical structures in laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos, providing surgeons with immediate information on dangerous and safe areas.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Dice Similarity Coefficient

    Dice Similarity Coefficient is a statistical measure of the similarity between two sets of data. In the context of image segmentation, it is used to quantify the spatial overlap between a predicted segmentation mask and its corresponding ground truth mask.

    Time frame: 3 years

  2. Mean Intersection over Union

    Mean Intersection over Union provides a measure of the overlap between the predicted segmentation and the ground truth, averaged across all classes present in the dataset.

    Time frame: 3 years

  3. Global Accuracy

    The proportion of correctly classified pixels out of the total number of pixels in the image.

    Time frame: 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Inference Latency

    time taken by the algorithm to process a single video frame and generate the segmentation masks (inference latency), or equivalently, the number of frames processed per second

    Time frame: 3 years

Other outcomes

  1. Class-Specific Precision and Recall for Critical Structures

    Precision: The proportion of predicted pixels for a structure that are actually part of that structure Recall: The proportion of actual ground truth pixels for a structure that were correctly identified by the algorithm

    Time frame: 3 years
