Abstract

Artificial intelligence(AI)and information and communication technology(ICT)are beginning to be used in the digital transformation of endoscopic images. In Japan, several AI systems for digestive organ endoscopy have been approved as programmed medical devices and are being introduced into clinical practice. Although it is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in endoscopic examinations for organs other than the digestive organs, research and development for practical application are still in their infancy. This article introduces AI for gastrointestinal endoscopy and the author's research on cystoscopy.
