Application of artificial intelligence to endoscopy on common gastrointestinal benign diseases

摘要

Artificial intelligence(AI)has been widely involved in every aspect of healthcare in the preclinical stage.In the digestive system,AI has been trained to assist auxiliary examinations including histopathology,endoscopy,ultrasonography,computerized tomography,and magnetic resonance imaging in detection,diagnosis,classification,differentiation,prognosis,and quality control.In the field of endoscopy,the application of AI,such as automatic detection,diagnosis,classification,and invasion depth,in early gastrointestinal(GI)cancers has received wide attention.There is a paucity of studies of AI application on common GI benign diseases based on endoscopy.In the review,we provide an overview of AI applications to endoscopy on common GI benign diseases including in the esophagus,stomach,intestine,and colon.It indicates that AI will gradually become an indispensable part of normal endoscopic detection and diagnosis of common GI benign diseases as clinical data,algorithms,and other related work are constantly repeated and improved.
