Abstract:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and second most common cause of cancer deaths. Most CRCs develop from large colorectal polyps, but most polyps remain smaller than 6 mm and will never develop into cancer.

For this purpose, automated polyp measurement would be more reproducible and perhaps more precise than manual … Show more
