Artificial Intelligence in the Characterization of Colorectal Polyps

Portugal197 participantsStarted 2021-01-01

Plain-language summary

Current guidelines recommend resection and histopathological analyses of all colorectal polyps. Real-time optical diagnosis can obviate non-neoplastic polyp resection ("diagnose-and-leave-behind") and histopathological analyses of diminutive polyps ("predict-resect-and-discard") reducing healthcare and cost burden. The investigators aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of computer-aided diagnosis using CAD EYE® (Fujifilm,Germany) in real-time optical characterization of colorectal polyps compared to endoscopic diagnosis with histopathology as the gold-standard. For this purpose, a single-centre prospective study of diminutive/small colorectal polyps is ongoing.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years; * The presence of at least one polyp in an elective colonoscopy. Exclusion Criteria: * Poor bowel preparation (Boston Bowel Preparation Score \<6 at the total score or \<2 at one of colorectal segment); * No recovery of excised polyps for histopathological analysis; * The presence of polyps not amenable to endoscopic excision or with contraindication for their excision at the time of colonoscopy; * The absence of explicit indication for colonoscopy.
