Real-time Diagnosis of Diminutive Colorectal Polyps Using AI

Correct endoscopic prediction of the histopathology and differentiation between benign, pre-malignant, and malignant colorectal polyps (optical diagnosis) remains difficult. Artificial intelligence has great potential in image analysis in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Aim of this study is to investigate the real-time diagnostic performance of AI4CRP for the classification of diminutive colorectal polyps, and to compare it with the real-time diagnostic performance of commercially available CADx systems.
