What this trial studies

This study aims to gather data from routine colonoscopy procedures to aid in the development and evaluation of artificial intelligence devices designed for colonoscopy. During the procedures, biopsies or resections will be performed as necessary, and all specimens will undergo histopathological examination. The collected data will help assess the performance of AI technologies in identifying and managing colonic polyps.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for a colonoscopy for screening or surveillance purposes.

Not a fit: Patients requiring urgent colonoscopy or those with contraindications for the procedure may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy and efficiency of colonoscopy procedures through improved AI-assisted diagnostics.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using AI for colonoscopy, indicating potential for success in this approach.
