AI-assisted colonoscopy detects more polyps, but whether that reduces cancer rates is uncertain.
The American Gastroenterological Association stops short of recommending AI, emphasizing the need for more research.
AI in Colonoscopy
The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) has released new clinical guidelines on using artificial intelligence (AI) in colonoscopy. The guidelines do not take a stance for or against computer-aided detection (CADe) systems, as current evidence remains inconclusive. While AI-assisted technology has been shown to improve polyp detection, its effectiveness in reducing colorectal cancer cases, the third most common cancer worldwide, remains uncertain.
