Description
Summary:Hookworm infection seriously threatens human health, causing intestinal inflammation, progressive iron/protein-deficiency anemia, mucosa damage, and malnutrition of human. In the small intestine, the larvae develop into half-inchlong worms, attach themselves to the intestinal wall, and suck blood. Drawbacks: * Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a radical, patient-friendly imaging system that aids noninvasive photographic review of the patient's digestive tract and, especially, small intestine. * However, reviewing the endoscopic data is timeconsuming and requires the intense labour of highly experienced physicians. Author: R. Sasi, et.al (2017), in this project by observing its unique properties, we propose serials of novel techniques to capture its characteristics, aiming to reduce the number of images a clinician needs to review [5].
