Performing AI-assisted colonoscopies takes no additional time and does not affect insurance coverage. 

“Ninety percent of patients with colon cancer will beat it if it’s caught early. A screening assisted with artificial intelligence is another way for patients to stack the odds in their favor of catching precancerous polyps before disease advances and spreads to the lymph nodes,” Gregory Lam, DO, a physician at Cincinnati GI, said in the release. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
