Novel computerised device to assist colonoscopy ‘detects more adenomas’

Real-time feedback to the endoscopist may improve screening and surveillance, researchers say

Computer-assisted colonoscopy identifies more precancerous polyps than traditional endoscopy, a randomised trial finds.

The US industry-funded study compared overall adenoma detection by experienced endoscopists performing screening or surveillance colonoscopies with or without the use of a computer-aided detection (CADe) device.
