IMPORTANCE: Assessing endoscopic disease severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) is a key element in determining therapeutic response, but its use in clinical practice is limited by the requirement for experienced human reviewers.

Automatic polyp detection has been shown to be difficult due to various polyp-like structures in the colon and high interclass variations in polyp size, color, shape, and texture. An efficient method should not only have a high correct detection rate...
Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), specifically via its emerging sub-field "deep learning," have direct implications for computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CADe and/or CADx) for colonoscopy. AI is expected to have at least 2 m...
BACKGROUND: Colorectal capsule endoscopy (CCE) is a potentially valuable patient-friendly technique for colorectal cancer screening in large populations. Before it can be widely applied, significant research priorities need to be addressed. We presen...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Application of artificial intelligence in medicine is now attracting substantial attention. In the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for colonoscopy is the most investigated area, although it is s...
Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most common cause of anaemia and a frequent indication for colonoscopy, although the prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in IDA is low. Measurement of faecal haemoglobin by immunochemical techniques (FIT) is use...

Computer-aided diagnosis offers a promising solution to reduce variation in colonoscopy performance. Pooled miss rates for polyps are as high as 22%, and associated interval colorectal cancers after colonoscopy are of concern. Optical biopsy, whereby...
Adenomatous polyps are a common precursor lesion for colorectal cancer. ColonFlag is a machine- learning-based algorithm that uses basic patient information and complete blood cell counts (CBC) to identify individuals at elevated risk of colorectal c...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Evaluation of endoscopic disease activity for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is important when determining the treatment of choice. However, endoscopists require a certain period of training to evaluate the activity of inf...
