Summary

This study is testing whether a real-time artificial intelligence system can help doctors find more sessile serrated lesions (a type of precancerous polyp) during colonoscopy. About 628 adults aged 40-80 will be randomly assigned to have a colonoscopy with or without the AI aid. The main goal is to see if the AI increases the number of these lesions found per procedure.

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
What this could lead to: If successful, this AI tool could help doctors detect more precancerous colon lesions during routine colonoscopies, potentially preventing some colorectal cancers.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The AI may not significantly improve detection rates in real-world settings, and results may vary by doctor.
