Artificial Intelligence Improves Colonoscopy AccuracyBy HospiMedica International staff writersPosted on 02 Mar 2023Colon cancer is one of the most deadly cancers in the world today and its incidence rate has been steadily increasing among younger people. Colonoscopy is currently considered the best way to detect and prevent colorectal cancer. The pre-cancerous lesions they develop can be very flat or only slightly raised, making them difficult to catch during colonoscopy. Researchers at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, USA) are studying the use of AI to enhance polyp detection rate in colonoscopy. Adding AI to traditional colonoscopies can help physicians better detect polyps that may have been missed otherwise.
