A patient has already undergone the first colonoscopy using this new tool — Medtronic’s GI Genius Module — according to the Dayton Daily News. The procedure was done by Sangreeta Agrawal, MD, who described the technology as a “second pair of smart eyes.”
The GI Genius catches areas in the colon that need a closer look that the physician may not have spotted using the camera attached to the endoscope. It also puts a green box around polyps, which, although they are benign, can allow colorectal cancers to arise.
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.
