Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has rapidly been deployed in endoscopic diagnosis and treatment. CU Medicine proves AI-assisted colonoscopy increases adenoma detection rate by 40%, and trains a new AI platform to assist early-stage gastrointestinal cancer treatment.
Prof Qi Dou explained, “To train AI-Endo, we compiled 47 complete ESD video clips that span a long period of 12 years, consisting of over 2 million frames, which allowed it to learn the entire surgical workflow and dissect each real-time action. The AI interface is able to discern real-time procedures while the doctor performs ESD, guide the doctor through the whole process, and provide data for postoperative analysis and review.”
