Artificial intelligence–assisted colonoscopy for adenoma and polyp detection: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Post written by Mohamed Shiha, MRCP, from the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Sheffield, UK. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is the main quality indicator for the effectiveness of colonoscopy in preventing colorectal cancer. However, it is estimated that 1 in 4 adenomas are missed during colonoscopy. Recently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled …

Usefulness of artificial intelligence–assisted digital single-operator cholangioscopy as a second-opinion consultation tool during interhospital assessment of an indeterminate biliary stricture: a case report

Post written by Carlos Robles-Medranda, MD, FASGE, AGAF, from the Endoscopy Division, Instituto Ecuatoriano de Enfermedades Digestivas (IECED), Guayaquil, Ecuador. We describe a case of a patient cared for in a medical facility abroad (Colombia) who presented with jaundice and proximal common bile duct stenosis detected with MRCP. EUS identified a homogeneous hypoechoic lesion localized at …
