In a recent article, researchers explored the integration of endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) with deep learning ...

Serrated colorectal polyps are a genotypically and molecularly diverse group of lesions sharing the common phenotype of glandular serration of the crypt lumen. A small subset of serrated polyps ...

Machine learning tools, using real-time convolutional neural networks, enhance polyp detection rates significantly. For instance, one study found that AI-assisted colonoscopy improved the adenoma ...

and secondary outcomes were adenomas per colonoscopy, sessile serrated lesion detection rates and miss rates, and withdrawal time. This study, led by Jonathan Makar, Department of Medicine ...

Some risk factors have been identified to determine if the small percentage of polyps are precancerous or cancerous, such as: Sessile polyps, which are flat and broad rather than raised Size over 10 ...
