"AI-Enhanced Colonoscopy Boosts Polyp Detection by 40%: Study"
Researchers at Radboud teaching hospital in the Netherlands are using AI to detect polyps in the colon, leading to a 40% increase in detection compared to the naked eye. The AI-assisted colonoscopy method did not result in more time or false positives. The next step is to determine if the computer can assess the danger level of a polyp based on its visual characteristics and size, potentially reducing the need for unnecessary analysis and lowering the risk of complications and costs.
