AI Article Synopsis

  • The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, particularly in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, has gained significant interest, especially in colonoscopy and polyp detection.
  • AI can enhance the quality of endoscopic procedures by reducing human error and supporting the detection of lesions, potentially leading to improved diagnostic performance.
  • This review outlines the benefits of AI for enhancing endoscopy quality, discusses recent advancements in AI technologies, and highlights the regulatory approval processes for these innovations.

Article Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in medicine has grown large interest. Within gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, the field of colonoscopy and polyp detection is the most investigated, however, upper GI follows the lead. Since endoscopy is performed by humans, it is inherently an imperfect procedure. Computer-aided diagnosis may improve its quality by helping prevent missing lesions and supporting optical diagnosis for those detected. An entire evolution in AI systems has been established in the last decades, resulting in optimization of the diagnostic performance with lower variability and matching or even outperformance of expert endoscopists. This shows a great potential for future quality improvement of endoscopy, given the outstanding diagnostic features of AI. With this narrative review, we highlight the potential benefit of AI to improve overall quality in daily endoscopy and describe the most recent developments for characterization and diagnosis as well as the recent conditions for regulatory approval.
