A novel artificial intelligence–assisted “vascular healing” diagnosis for prediction of future clinical relapse in patients with ulcerative colitis: a prospective cohort study (with video)

Post written by Yasuharu Maeda, MD, PhD, and Takanori Kuroki, MD, from the Digestive Disease Center, Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. In the assessment of inflammation and prediction of outcomes in ulcerative colitis (UC), artificial intelligence (AI)—assisted image-enhanced endoscopy offers objective and more precise predictions. We developed an AI-assisted narrow-band imaging system called …

Validation of a new optical diagnosis training module to improve dysplasia characterization in inflammatory bowel disease: a multicenter international study

Post written by Marietta Iacucci, MD, PhD, FASGE, AGAF, from APC Microbiome Ireland, College of Medicine and Health, University College of Cork, Cork, Ireland. Patients with long-standing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of dysplastic lesions. Therefore, consensus and guidelines recommend performing regular surveillance colonoscopy using dye or virtual chromoendoscopy to enhance lesion identification …

Enhanced accuracy for classification of video capsule endoscopy images using multiple deep learning convolutional neural networks

Post written by David R. Cave, MD, PhD, from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Video capsule endoscopy was first introduced in 2001. A major inhibitor to its widespread use has been that reading the output video takes significant time. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) provides an opportunity to help the reader decrease time …

Artificial intelligence–assisted real-time monitoring of effective withdrawal time during colonoscopy: a novel quality marker of colonoscopy

Post written by Wai K. Leung, MD, from the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. In this study, we developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based quantitative measurement for effective withdrawal time (EWT) during colonoscopy. This measurement also takes into consideration the quality of the images obtained during colonoscope withdrawal. Standard withdrawal time, a simple measurement …
