Enhancing the image quality of blue light cystoscopy through green-hue correction and fogginess removal
© 2023. The Author(s)..
Blue light cystoscopy (BLC) is a guideline-recommended endoscopic tool to detect bladder cancer with high sensitivity. Having clear, high-quality images during cystoscopy is crucial to the sensitive, efficient detection of bladder tumors; yet, important diagnostic information is often missed or poorly visualized in images containing illumination artifacts or impacted by impurities in the bladder. In this study, we introduce computational methods to remove two common artifacts in images from BLC videos: green hue and fogginess. We also evaluate the effect of artifact removal on the perceptual quality of the BLC images through a survey study and computation of Blind/Referenceless Image Spatial Quality Evaluator scores on the original and enhanced images. We show that corrections and enhancements made to cystoscopy images resulted in a better viewing experience for clinicians during BLC imaging and reliably restored lost tissue features that were important for diagnostics. Incorporating these enhancements during clinical and OR procedures may lead to more comprehensive tumor detection, fewer missed tumors during TURBT procedures, more complete tumor resection and shorter procedure time. When used in off-line review of cystoscopy videos, it may also better guide surgical planning and allow more accurate assessment and diagnosis.
