Abstract: Software engineering enables the construction of reliable services, which in the field of medicine can be regarded as crucial components of today’s clinical practice. This paper focuses on software engineering applications in the field of gastroenterology and presents the state of the art in this field as well as challenges for future research. It reviews a broad spectrum of applications with emphasis on endoscopic imaging. The advances in the latter are dominant, with hundreds of scientific contributions in the last quinquennium to be driven mainly by the technological revolution of wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE). However, there is still a long way for research before resolving the related open issues in practice.

Keywords: Software engineering, gastroenterology, endoscopy, wireless capsule endoscopy, image analysis. Read more
