Transformer-Based Deep Learning Framework for Automated Lesion Detection in Capsule Endoscopy: A Comparative Study With CNN Architectures

Goals To compare a vision transformer with 2 convolutional neural network architectures for multiclass lesion classification in capsule endoscopy images. Background Manual review of capsule endoscopy is time-consuming and subject to interobserver variability. Deep learning can automate lesion recognition; however, most prior capsule endoscopy work evaluates a small number of classes, and systematic comparisons between transformer and convolutional architectures across many lesion categories are limited. Study Tw…

Current reading — gain

A pretrained Vision Transformer fine-tuned on a merged 21-class capsule endoscopy dataset achieved 92.2% accuracy and 0.99 AUC on an independent test set, outperforming DenseNet121 and ResNet50.

Current reading — problem

Because the dataset was split at the image level, correlated frames from the same examination may inflate performance, so results cannot be interpreted as patient-level generalization and require grouped reanalysis and external validation before clinical use.

What this doesn’t fix

Performance estimates are based on an image-level split rather than patient or procedure-level split, so frames from the same examination may be correlated and results should not be interpreted as patient-level generalization or definitive architectural superiority without grouped reanalysis and external validation.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0779 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
