AI boosts bowel polyp detection in Pill-Sized camera videos

NCT ID NCT06008847

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could help doctors find polyps (small growths that can become cancer) in videos from a swallowed capsule camera. 720 adults who were already scheduled for a colon capsule endoscopy took part. The AI analyzed the video to flag possible polyps, and researchers measured how accurate and fast the AI was compared to doctors reading the video alone.
