Abstract

BACKGROUND: Quality indicators should be assessed and monitored to improve colonoscopy quality in clinical practice. Endoscopists must enter relevant information in the endoscopy reporting system to facilitate data collection, which may be inaccurate. The current study aimed to develop a full deep learning-based algorithm to identify and analyze intra-procedural colonoscopy quality indicators based on endoscopy images obtained during the procedure.
