Abstract

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable progress in image recognition using deep learning systems. It has been used to detect esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC); however, none of the previous reports were investigations in a clinical setting, being retrospective in design. We therefore conducted this trial to determine how AI can help endoscopists detect ESCC in a clinical setting.
