Gastroenterology AdvisorAI Detection System Has Higher Adenomas Per Colonoscopy Rate

Enhancing Colonoscopy Efficacy: The AI Revolution in Adenoma Detection

In a significant stride toward improving colonoscopy quality, a recent study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology reveals that an artificial intelligence (AI) system, CADEYE^TM, substantially outperforms conventional colonoscopy in detecting adenomas. This groundbreaking research underscores the potential of AI to enhance diagnostic accuracy in gastroenterology, offering a promising avenue for early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer.

Key Points:

• The AI detection system CADEYE^TM demonstrated a 17% higher adenomas per colonoscopy (APC) rate compared to conventional colonoscopy.
• The study, a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial, involved 1,857 patients undergoing colonoscopy, comparing AI-assisted procedures to traditional methods.
• The primary metric, APC, significantly favored AI-assisted colonoscopy, with a rate of 0.990 versus 0.849 for conventional methods.
• AI colonoscopy detected more total polyps and serrated lesions per procedure than conventional colonoscopy, although rates for sessile serrated lesions and neoplasia were similar between the two.
• The adenoma detection rate (ADR), a crucial indicator of colonoscopy effectiveness, was comparable between AI-assisted and conventional colonoscopies, reinforcing the AI system’s noninferiority.
• Subgroup analysis revealed that the AI system particularly excelled in surveillance colonoscopy, offering superior APC rates compared to screening colonoscopies.
• The implementation of AI did not significantly extend the withdrawal time during colonoscopy, indicating an efficient integration into current practices.

“[A] novel real-time AI detection CADEYE^TM system showed higher detection of adenoma per colonoscopy compared to conventional high-definition colonoscopy without substantial increase in the withdrawal time. This data supports the use of CADEYETM for improving colonoscopy quality.”
