GI Genius is the first FDA-cleared, computer-aided polyp detection system, and Northside is the first in Atlanta to fully adopt the advanced technology across its health system, according to an Aug. 14 press release. 

The first procedures using GI Genius were performed Aug. 14. Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer diagnosed in the U.S., and more than 4,500 new cases are expected in Georgia in 2024, according to the National Cancer Institute.

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.
