Using artificial intelligence to improve detection of right-sided colon polyps
Efficacy of Artificial Intelligence in the Detection of Right Sided Colonic Polyp in Operators with Different Endoscopic Experience: a Randomized Control Trial
This study tests if using artificial intelligence during colonoscopy can help doctors find more right-sided colon polyps, especially for those with different levels of experience.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting right-sided colonic polyps during colonoscopy, particularly focusing on operators with varying levels of endoscopic experience. By employing a double insertion technique on the right side of the colon, the study aims to assess whether AI can enhance polyp detection rates. The research seeks to address the issue of missed polyps, which is a common challenge in colonoscopy procedures. Participants will undergo colonoscopy with AI assistance to determine its impact on detection accuracy.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals aged 40 to 80 years who are undergoing colonoscopy for polyp detection.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of colonic surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, or other specified conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve the detection rates of right-sided colon polyps, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced incidence of colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results in using AI for polyp detection, suggesting that this approach may enhance diagnostic accuracy.
