Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) plays a major role in the investigation and endoscopic treatment of small bowel diseases. Recently, the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to gastroenterology has been the focus of great interest. Our aim was to develop an AI model for the automatic detection of protruding lesions in DAE images.
