Google’s new technology can help detect these abnormalities while improving incomplete detections. The system was trained on 3,600 procedures with 86 million frames and tested on 1,400 procedures. The results showed a 97 percent accurate detection rate of polyps.

Research on the new system was recently published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. It builds on Google’s previous work to enhance scope in other areas of the body and detection rates.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
