People from the Nutrition research group of DOMUS medica may be interested. They follow patients with colon rectal cancer based om dietary changes

Salam Dear   Michael ...it  is ok  how  we  can communicate  please

Dear Reda, my email address is [email protected]

Dear Michael,

should the knowledge and the eyes of an experienced GI histopathologist be of help, I am interested to participate.

Dear Michael,

if you need a colorectal surgeon I am interested to partecipate

Dear Michael,

My PhD thesis was about colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence, from the pathologist point of veiw. Should you need me, I am interested in joining the team.

Hello. Michael,

I am gastroenterologist with experience in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of colon. During all these years in practice, I realized that it is necessary to introduce IT innovations in alerting medical staff about the existence of subtle pathological signs of threatening diseases. Your investigation could be extended  to ulcerative colitis, Crohn disease, colon cancer etc. I am interested to participate

Dear Michael

I am a gastroenterologist/endoscopist and I am interested in this type of projects. Just for your knowledge, I am the principal invastigator of a multicenter study including 80 endoscopists and 17 patologists recruiting polyps > 1 cm and assessing malignant features (deep submucosal invasion) (see NCT02328066 in clinicaltrials.gov).  I think It would be very useful if a software could help to distinguish adenomas from adenocarcinomas with deep submucosal invasion (different attitude: endoscopy ressection vs surgery). Some groups have also developed (and published their results) software that detects and assesses colonic polyps. However, I amb not sure if those sofware packages are able to detect signs of adenocarcinomas with deep submucosal invasion because this type of lesions are not common. I think I could collect a large gallery of images of these uncommon lesions. Please, contact with me by email ([email protected]) if you are interested in seting up a collaboration.

Best regards,

Dear Michael,

I am an gastrointestinal endoscopist interested in the image technology applied to diagnosis of colorectal lesions and diseases (see my profile in Researchgate). Computer-aid automated detection and interpretation of colorectal lesions is a hot topic, and it might be a significant step to improve the quality of CRC screening programs based on colonoscopy. 

I work in a tertiary referral center, and our Unit has an extensive experience in endoscopy research. We are currently involved in multicentric european projects on in vivo endoscopic characterization of colonic lesions. 

I you think that we may be suitable for your project, do not hesitate in contact me ([email protected]). It would be nice to look at your research protocol to see if we could fit on it. 

Yours sincerely,

Marco Bustamante-Balen

Hi Michael, I am a surgical gastroenterologist that work in Nigeria with lot of experience in colonoscopy. If you desire to work with someone from West Africa, I am interested. Best regard. 

Sorry, as a gastroenterologist, if I am able to scope up the gut, I should also be able to interpret the picture. I therefore can not see any need of this research–except a wast of paper by a publication, that I hopefully am not asked to peer review. Sorry again. BMS

Dear Bruno, that's a valid point but the research we plan to do will go beyond standard methods that are known at the moment. So I don't think we will waste paper because the main reason will be to develop new technology and not publishing. Kind regards 

 As experienced endoscopist,  I guess this novel research area is appealing.  In particular,  in the field of inflammatory bowel disease,  we need a reliable tool to narrow the existing gap of inter rater discrepancies in the evaluation of the severity of mucosal damage.  Therefore,  the technology proposed by Michael needs consideration and I will be delighted to read more about. Thanks

as expert on imaging endoscope processing i consider this concept very attractive and i am ready to contribute.detection has to be improve for missing polyp and abnormalities in inflammatory colon

Hello  Michael,

I have ZERO experience in the medical imaging field but have over 40 years of experience with digital image analyses of satellite, aerial, and shipborne imaging (remote sensing) of the Earth surface (including acoustic imaging of the ocean surface) .  I have an interest in the application of some of the capabilities developed over 4 decades in remote sensing to the medical field.  I think that my expertise related to radiometric and geometric calibration, change detection, and spatial variability analyses might be useful in the medical field.   I retired from the federal government (USGS) after 38 years and currently am an adjunch research professor.

If you think this might be of interest let me know.
