Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD)-based artificial intelligence (AI) has been shown to be highly accurate for detecting and characterizing colon polyps. However, the application of AI to identify normal colon landmarks and differentiate multiple colon diseases has not yet been established. We aimed to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based algorithm (GUTAID) to recognize different colon lesions and anatomical landmarks.
