Computer-aided detection-assisted colonoscopy: classification and relevance of false positives
Post written by Matteo Badalamenti, MD, from the Humanitas Clinical and Research Center IRCCS, Digestive Endoscopy Unit, Division of Gastroenterology, Rozzano, Milan. The focus of our study was to define a structured classification of false-positive (FP) results provided by the Artificial Intelligence CADe system that was recently applied in endoscopic daily practice and to estimate …
Endoscopic full-thickness resection of a stomach gastrointestinal stromal tumor using a dedicated full-thickness resection device
Post written by Dennis Yang, MD, from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with a 15-mm gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in the stomach. The patient elected for resection instead of surveillance. After multidisciplinary discussion, the decision was to proceed with endoscopic removal. …
