GI Genius is an AI-powered endoscopy module used to assist in colonoscopies and can reduce the chances of missed polyps by up to 50%, with a 99.7% to 100% sensitivity rate.  

The VA performs around 250,000 colonoscopies each year, diagnosing around 4,000 cases of colorectal cancer annually, according to a Nov. 25 news release from Medtronic.

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.
