The GI Genius module uses advanced AI software to highlight suspicious polyps of various sizes, shapes, and morphologies with a visual marker in real-time
Medtronic has announced the launch of innovative computer-aided polyps detection system powered by artificial intelligence (AI)-the GI Genius intelligent endoscopy module. This solution leans on deep learning algorithms and real-time data and empowers physicians to detect and treat colorectal cancer by offering enhanced visualisation during colonoscopy.
The GI Genius module uses advanced AI software to highlight suspicious polyps of various sizes, shapes, and morphologies with a visual marker in real-time. It serves as the gastroenterologists’ ever-vigilant second observer, with a sensitivity rate per lesion of 99.7 per cent and less than 1 per cent false positives.
Studies have shown that AI-assisted colonoscopy can increase polyp detection rates, and every 1 per cent increase in Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR) reduces the risk of colorectal cancer by 3 per cent. GI Genius module has been shown to increase ADR by up to 14.4 per cent.
