Computer-aided Detection Systems increase detection of non-advanced adenomas, but is it ready for prime-time?
Shria Kumar, MD, MSCE discusses a 2020 article in Gastroenterology, “Efficacy of Real-Time Computer-Aided Detection of Colorectal Neoplasia in a Randomized Trial.” GI-Genius™, a new computer-aided adenoma detection tool, is FDA-approved, integrates into existing endoscopic systems, and overlays a detection box around a potential polyp. In a well-designed RCT, adenoma detection was significantly higher with GI-Genius™. Endoscopists will need to consider a variety of factors to determine whether to integrate this tool into their endoscopy practice.
