Gastroenterology and Artificial Intelligence: 2nd Annual Artificial Intelligence Summit | October 2020-Plug and Play, Computer Vision Devices, Motility and Capsule

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Seth Gross discusses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in gastroenterology and endoscopy. He begins by explaining the concept of plug-and-play devices, which can provide AI support during screening and surveillance colonoscopies. He mentions two commercially available devices, GI Genius and EndoAid, which can be integrated into the endoscopy system to aid in the diagnosis of polyps. Dr. Gross then demonstrates how AI can assist in various aspects of the colonoscopy procedure, such as identifying landmarks, detecting polyps, providing real-time histopathology, and suggesting appropriate tools for polyp removal.<br /><br />Next, he explores the potential applications of AI in motility testing, specifically in identifying different types of achalasia based on esophageal contractions. He also discusses the use of AI in capsule endoscopy, where it can improve the detection of angioectasias and classify protruding lesions more accurately. Dr. Gross emphasizes the promise of AI in gastroenterology and endoscopy, predicting its expansion into inflammatory bowel disease and endoscopic ultrasound. He concludes by expressing that the field is only beginning to explore the full potential of AI.
