Striving for quality improvement: can artificial intelligence help?

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Artificial intelligence (AI) is of keen interest for global health development as potential support for current human shortcomings. Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is an excellent substrate for AI, since it holds the genuine potential to improve qual...

Colorectal polyp characterization with endocytoscopy: Ready for widespread implementation with artificial intelligence?

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Endocytoscopy provides an in-vivo visualization of nuclei and micro-vessels at the cellular level in real-time, facilitating so-called "optical biopsy" or "virtual histology" of colorectal polyps/neoplasms. This functionality is enabled by 520-fold m...

Artificial intelligence: Thinking outside the box.

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Artificial intelligence (AI) for luminal gastrointestinal endoscopy is rapidly evolving. To date, most applications have focused on colon polyp detection and characterization. However, the potential of AI to revolutionize our current practice in endo...

Impact of artificial intelligence on colorectal polyp detection.

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Since colonoscopy and polypectomy were introduced, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality decreased significantly. Although we have entered the era of quality measurement and improvement, literature shows that a considerable amount of colore...

Pitfalls in training and validation of deep learning systems.

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
The number of publications in endoscopic journals that present deep learning applications has risen tremendously over the past years. Deep learning has shown great promise for automated detection, diagnosis and quality improvement in endoscopy. Howev...

Early gastric cancer and Artificial Intelligence: Is it time for population screening?

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Gastric cancer is a common cause of death worldwide and its early detection is crucial to improve its prognosis. Its incidence varies throughout countries, and screening has been found to be cost-effective at least in high-incidence regions. Identifi...

Robot assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) for esophageal cancer.

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Worldwide, the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer with curative intent is perioperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by open transthoracic esophagectomy (OTE) with gastric conduit reconstruction. Mini...
