Computer-aided detection in routine colonoscopy improves ADR by 4.1% (Healio)

Key takeaways:

• Computer-aided detection resulted in an adenoma detection rate of 37.5% vs. 33.7% in standard colonoscopy.
• No safety issues were reported with computer-aided detection in routine practice.

Computer-aided detection in colonoscopy had a “positive effect” on adenoma detection rate, mean number of adenomas per colonoscopy and polyp detection rate and should be considered when performing routine colonoscopy, researchers reported.
