A new meta-analysis confirms that use of computer-aided detection (CADe) systems during colonoscopy finds more polyps and adenomas than conventional colonoscopy, but the effect on detection of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) remains unclear.
The research team, which focused on advanced neoplasia due to their clinical importance, found a small increase in the ACN detection rate with CADe but no difference in ACNs detected per colonoscopy.
For ACN, “the ones we really care about, the findings were discordant,” Dennis Shung, MD, MHS, PhD, with Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, said in an interview.
There was a “small positive signal” indicating the potential of AI to detect advanced neoplasia. “However, we can’t say for sure that it will help you...
