Abstract

BACKGROUND: Up to 45.9% of polyps are missed during colonoscopy, which is the major cause of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (CRC). Computer-aided detection (CADe) techniques based on deep learning might improve endoscopists' performance in detecting polyps. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the CADe system in assisting endoscopists in a real-world clinical setting.
