The use of artificial intelligence to aid colonoscopy improved the detection of adenomas in the hands of nonexpert endoscopists by 22%, versus conventional colonoscopy, according to a study presented at the 2021 virtual Digestive Disease Week (abstract 338).
The AID-2 study evaluated the benefit of incorporating a computer-aided detection (CADe) system compared with unaided conventional colonoscopy, during 660 colonoscopies performed by 10 endoscopists who had done less than 2,000 colonoscopies each. The primary outcome was adenoma detection rate (ADR).
