Abstract

The development of a computer-assisted diagnosis system in digestive endoscopy, relying on a reference endoscopical image database, requires that the diagnosis reasoning during the examination is understood. Two main and complementary approaches are described, one is guided by lesions detection, the other is guided by diagnosis hypothesis. The two approaches rely on medical knowledge of normal and pathological aspects of the digestive tract
