The artificial intelligence device helps detect polyps during colonoscopies. It’s compatible with any colonoscopy video and uses AI to recognize the presence of precancerous lesions with a visual marker in real time.
McGuire VA Medical Center performs an average of 2,500 colonoscopies per year, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“When the AI detects an abnormality, a visual and audible signal is generated to alert the endoscopist,” said Michael Fuchs, MD, PhD, the center’s chief of gastroenterology and hepatology. “This assisted technology increases the ability of the endoscopist to detect these serious lesions outside of the field of vision.”
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.
