AI-Assisted Colonoscopies Improve Adenoma Detection Rates Among Junior Doctors, Hong Kong Study Finds
- Chinese University of Hong Kong researchers find AI helps junior doctors better detect colon tumors during colonoscopies
- AI acts as "extra pair of eyes" to spot potential tumors, especially small adenomas that could otherwise be missed
- Study from 2021-2022 had 22 junior doctors perform 766 colonoscopies, with AI group having higher adenoma detection rates
- AI tool especially benefited doctors with <200 colonoscopies, improving detection rates
- University developed separate AI platform to help train doctors on early-stage cancer surgery technique
