AI helps doctors spot more polyps during colonoscopy
NCT ID NCT07171333
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether an AI tool that highlights suspicious areas during colonoscopy helps doctors find more polyps. Over 400 adults aged 40-80 undergoing screening or diagnostic colonoscopy were randomly assigned to standard colonoscopy or AI-assisted colonoscopy. The main goal was to see if the AI improved the adenoma detection rate, a key measure of colonoscopy quality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Computer-aided detection (CADe) system (DISCOVERY™)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI helps doctors find more polyps during colonoscopy, potentially reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study, but the AI tool may not work equally well for all doctors or patients, and it does not replace the need for skilled endoscopists.
