Gastroenterology Artificial INtelligence System for Detecting Colorectal Polyps (The GAIN Study) (GAIN)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the accuracy of a medical device that has been developed to automatically find polyps (small growths) during colonoscopies. The device uses a computer to detect and highlight potential polyps from the usual video images made during a colonoscopy, and such detections will be visible to  the doctor during the regular colonoscopy procedure. This medical device is called Endoscopy Video Assistance for Colonoscopy (EVA-C). EVA-C, an investigational device, has been developed to assist the doctor in identifying possible polyps, but is not meant to replace their decision making.
