Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Computed tomography (CT) colonography is increasingly recognized as a valuable modality for diagnosing colorectal lesions, however, the interpretation workload remains challenging for physicians. Deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been employed for imaging diagnoses. In this study, we examined the sensitivity of neoplastic lesions in CT colonography images.
