Summary

This study tests whether giving doctors real-time feedback from an AI program during colonoscopy helps them find more polyps (adenomas). Over 4,000 participants will have their colonoscopy monitored, and the AI will highlight suspicious areas on the screen. The goal is to see if this feedback improves the adenoma detection rate. However, the trial is currently suspended, so results are pending.
