Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Virtual Chromoendoscopy (VCE) is pivotal for assessing activity and predicting outcomes in Ulcerative Colitis (UC), though interobserver variability and the need for expertise persist. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers standardized VCE-based assessment. This study introduces a novel AI model to detect and simultaneously generate various endoscopic modalities, enhancing AI-driven inflammation assessment and outcome prediction in UC.
