Deep Learning Model Accurate in Reading Capsule Endoscopy Images

A new deep learning model is over 90% accurate in detecting protruding colonic lesions observed through capsule endoscopy, and it requires a fraction of the time endoscopists typically spend analyzing a full capsule exam, researchers have found.

“I believe artificial intelligence will increase the use of capsule endoscopy, which is a very useful and noninvasive screening endoscopy tool,” Miguel Mascarenhas, MD, a gastroenterologist at São João University Hospital, in
