Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Small Bowel Lesions and Neoplasia: A Scoping Review
Jul 08,26 | 01:37 EST
This scoping review synthesizes evidence on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for detecting small bowel (SB) lesions and neoplasia via endoscopic imaging, including capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy. The review identified 13 studies, predominantly retrospective from China and Japan, showing high diagnostic performance (sensitivities 81.2-98.6%, specificities 88.6-99.8%) for AI systems, mostly convolutional neural networks, in automated lesion detection. While AI can improve SB lesion detection and reduce reading times, current evidence is insufficient to recommend it as a screening tool for SB cancer due to a lack of robust prospective multicenter validation.
