AI for Colon Cancer Diagnosis
GI Genius, an AI-assisted device to detect Colon Cancer
An AI-assisted device called GI Genius can be a second pair of eyes to help doctors detect suspicious growths that may otherwise get overlooked during a colonoscopy.
The system uses algorithms to look for areas in the colon that could be lesions or polyps. If it finds an area of concern, it highlights it on the view that the doctor sees from the endoscope camera and also makes a sound.
The device doesn’t replace the use of a biopsy to test a tissue sample for cancer. It simply alerts the doctor that a suspected polyp is present, so they can take a closer look.
