Abstract Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems have been actively researched for polyp in colonoscopy. To be an effective system, it is important to detect additional polyps that may easily missed by endoscopists. Sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) are a precursor colorectal cancer with relatively higher miss rate, owing their flat and subtle morphology. Colonoscopy CADe could help endoscopists; however, the current exhibit very low performance detecting SSLs. We propose system reflects...
