After creating an artificial intelligence tool using retrospective data, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Cheshire Medical Center are implementing the technology in a clinical trial.
The tool was developed by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center researchers and uses artificial intelligence to classify the four major types of colorectal polyps removed during screening colonoscopy. The model produced accurate results comparable to pathologists and withstood evaluation using broad datasets from multiple institutions across the United States.
According to researchers, this proves that the artificial intelligence model is generalizable and can be trained on widespread external data.
