AI spots colon polyps in real time, could cut unnecessary biopsies
NCT ID NCT06335654
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an artificial intelligence system called EndoBRAIN that helps doctors identify whether colon growths are cancerous or not during a colonoscopy. 680 adults with colorectal lesions took part. The goal was to see if the AI could accurately diagnose polyps in real time, potentially reducing the need for tissue biopsies and speeding up treatment decisions.
