- Two new studies are reporting on the benefits and limitations of using artificial intelligence in colonoscopies.
- In one study, researchers concluded that artificial intelligence did not improve detection of lesions associated with colorectal cancer.
- In the second study, researchers reported that artificial intelligence did improve detection of polyps associated with colorectal cancer.
- Experts say artificial intelligence in medical tests is only as good as the doctor using it.
Two articles published today in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine examine the benefits and limitations of using artificial intelligence with colonoscopy procedures.
The results of these studies seem to contradict one another with one showing no diagnostic improvements and the other finding a reduction in the missed rate of colonoscopies.
“Overall, the two studies are different in design but come to contradictory conclusions regarding the use of
“One thing the two studies agree on is that detection of non-neoplastic findings (polyps that are not of worrisome histology) do increase with CADe,” Shaukat told Medical News Today.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is used extensively in medical sciences, according to the
“Artificial Intelligence is rapidly integrating into every aspect of our daily lives,” said Dr. James Lee, a gastroenterologist with Providence St. Joseph Hospital in California who was…
