White-light endoscopy (WLE) is a main and standard modality for detection of early gastric cancer (EGC). The detection rate of EGC is not satisfactory so far. In this single-center retrospective study we developed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based system to automatically detect EGC in WLE images. An EGC detecting system was constructed based on the CNN architecture EfficientDet. We trained our system with a data set including 4527 images from 130 cases (cancerous images, 1737; noncancerous images, 2790). Then we tested its performance with a data set including 1243 images from 64 cases (cancerous images, 445; noncancerous images, 798). For case-based analysis, our system successfully detected EGC in 63 of 64 cases and the sensitivity was 98.4%. For image-based analysis, the accuracy was 88.3%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 84.5%, 90.5%, 83.2% and 91.3%, respectively. The most common cause for false positives was gastritis (57.9%). The most common cause for false negatives was that the lesion was too small with a diameter of 10 mm or less (44.9%). Our CNN-based EGC detecting system was able to achieve satisfactory sensitivity for detecting EGC in WLE images and shows great potential in assisting endoscopists with the detection of EGC.
