Virtual NBI image synthesis using stable diffusion for enhanced recognition of early gastric cancer: a technical validation study by Changda Lei, Xiuji Kan, Yifan Ouyang, Yutong Mei, Yunbo Guo, Kaicheng Hong, Junbo Li, Bilin Wang, Rui Li

“…Background Narrow band imaging (NBI) can assist endoscopists in detecting early gastric cancer (EGC) more easily, but its widespread use is hindered by economic cost and technical property rights. We aim to realize the conversion of white light endoscopy (WLE) images into virtual narrow band imaging (Vir–NBI) images using stable diffusion.Methods Endoscopic images were retrospectively collected from 325 patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). …”
