Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for diagnosing colorectal polyps are emerging but not yet widely used. Trust in AI is lacking and could be improved by visually explainable AI, such as heatmaps. This study aims to investigate the association between heatmap position and AI accuracy for the endoscopic characterization of colorectal polyps.
