Introduction #

Released 2020-08-28 ·Hanna Borgli, Vajira Thambawita, Pia H. Smedsrudet al.

The authors address the prominence of artificial intelligence in the medical field, specifically in the context of sparse medical data due to legal restrictions and the labor-intensive nature of labeling training data. They present the HyperKvasir dataset, which is currently the most extensive collection of images and videos related to the gastrointestinal tract. This dataset, comprising 110,079 images and 374 videos, was obtained from real gastro- and colonoscopy examinations at Bærum Hospital in Norway and partially labeled by experienced gastrointestinal endoscopists. The dataset encompasses a variety of anatomical landmarks, normal findings, and pathological conditions. The combined image and video frames amount to approximately 1 million.

The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract experiences a range of mucosal abnormalities, including benign and life-threatening diseases. GI cancers, in particular, contribute to a significant global health burden. Endoscopy serves as the gold-standard diagnostic tool for GI tract examination, but its effectiveness is influenced by the variability in operator performance. Improved endoscopic outcomes are crucial for preventing GI-related morbidity and mortality, and artificial intelligence (AI) support systems have shown promise in enhancing endoscopic performance.

However, AI-based solutions require large, well-labeled datasets for training machine learning models. Obtaining such datasets in the medical domain is challenging due to legal constraints and data collection difficulties. Despite these challenges, AI-based diagnostic tools for endoscopy are emerging.

To address these limitations, the authors introduced the HyperKvasir dataset. This dataset comprises images and videos collected from routine clinical examinations at a Norwegian hospital between 2008 and 2016. The images were obtained from the Picsara image documentation database. The dataset was progressively expanded and used by researchers worldwide to develop various AI models for GI endoscopy.

The dataset contains labeled-images, segmented-images, and unlabeled-images. Labeled images are categorized based on the location in the GI tract, the quality of mucosal views, pathological findings, and therapeutic interventions. The lower GI tract is examined during colonoscopy, including the terminal ileum, colon, and rectum, while the upper GI tract includes the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

The various image classes structured under position and type, also the structure of the stored images.

For the lower GI tract, the dataset includes anatomical landmarks, bowel preparation quality, and various pathological findings such as ulcerative colitis, polyps, and hemorrhoids. Therapeutic interventions, such as polyp removal and ulcer injection, are also covered.

In the upper GI tract, the dataset features anatomical landmarks and pathological findings, including reflux esophagitis and Barrett’s esophagus.

The unlabeled images are provided for further research and analysis.

In summary, the HyperKvasir dataset offers a valuable resource for developing AI-based diagnostic tools for endoscopy, particularly for the gastrointestinal tract. The dataset is open access and freely available to researchers, supporting advancements in the field of medical AI.

Summary #

HyperKvasir: The Largest Gastrointestinal Dataset (Images) is a dataset for instance segmentation, semantic segmentation, object detection, classification, and semi supervised learning tasks. It is used in the medical industry.

The dataset consists of 111079 images with 2134 labeled objects belonging to 2 different classes including polyp and polyp_bbox.

Images in the HyperKvasir Images dataset have pixel-level instance segmentation and bounding box annotations. Due to the nature of the instance segmentation task, it can be automatically transformed into a semantic segmentation task (only one mask for every class). There are 110079 (99% of the total) unlabeled images (i.e. without annotations). There are 3 splits in the dataset: unlabeled-images (99417 images), labeled-images (10662 images), and segmented-images (1000 images). Alternatively, the dataset could be split into 2 GI tracts: lower-gi-tract (7210 images) and upper-gi-tract (3452 images), or into 4 categories of findings: anatomical-landmarks (4104 images), pathological-findings (2642 images), therapeutic-interventions (1991 images), and quality-of-mucosal-views (1925 images), or into 23 classification image sets: bbps-2-3 (1148 images), polyps (1028 images), cecum (1009 images), dyed-lifted-polyps (1002 images), pylorus (999 images), dyed-resection-margins (989 images), z-line (932 images), retroflex-stomach (764 images), bbps-0-1 (646 images), ulcerative-colitis-grade-2 (443 images), esophagitis-a (403 images), retroflex-rectum (391 images), esophagitis-b-d (260 images), ulcerative-colitis-grade-1 (201 images), ulcerative-colitis-grade-3 (133 images), impacted-stool (131 images), barretts-short-segment (53 images), barretts (41 images), ulcerative-colitis-grade-0-1 (35 images), ulcerative-colitis-grade-2-3 (28 images), ulcerative-colitis-grade-1-2 (11 images), ileum (9 images), and hemorrhoids (6 images). The dataset was released in 2020 by the NO-SW-AU joint research group.
