Real-time software that highlights polyps on the colonoscopy screen, helping doctors find more of the growths that could become bowel cancer.
Computer-aided detection systems such as GI Genius (Medtronic, FDA authorised 2021) analyse the live video during colonoscopy and draw a box around suspected polyps. Randomised trials show higher adenoma detection rates, mainly of small lesions, while the effect on interval cancer remains to be shown; computer-aided characterisation aims to tell benign from precancerous polyps to avoid unnecessary removal.
A neural network runs on each video frame and marks regions whose appearance matches polyps in training data, with adjustable sensitivity.
