      Neural networks, in the context of deep learning, show much promise in becoming an important tool with the purpose assisting medical doctors in disease detection during patient examinations. However, the current state of deep learning is something of a "black box", making it very difficult to understand what internal processes lead to a given result. This is not only true for non-technical users but ...

      Polyps in the colon are widely known cancer precursors identifed by colonoscopy. Whilst most polyps are benign, the polyp’s number, size and surface structure are linked to the risk of colon cancer. Several methods have been developed to automate polyp detection and segmentation. However, the main issue is that they are not tested rigorously on a large multicentre purpose-built dataset, one reason ...
