Abstract

BACKGROUND: The ability of endoscopists to identify gastric lesions is uneven. Even experienced endoscopists may miss or misdiagnose lesions due to heavy workload or fatigue or subtle changes in lesions under white-light endoscopy (WLE). This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system that could diagnose six common gastric lesions under WLE and to explore its role in assisting endoscopists in diagnosis.
