Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The long-term treat-to-target (T2T) approach in ulcerative colitis (UC) aims for endoscopic remission, but variability among endoscopists and a lack of precision in relapse prediction both limit its clinical usefulness. A recently reported white-light imaging (WLI) artificial intelligence (AI) model helps standardize diagnosis, although challenges remain. Therefore, we attempted to combine a narrow-band imaging (NBI) AI model with the WLI AI model to determine whether these challenges can be overcome.
