Artificial Intelligence powered Endoscopy system that helps enhance the
diagnostic and therapeutic capacity of endoscopic procedures.
Endoscopy plays a pivotal role in gastroenterology, offering minimally invasive
visualization and diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders. Its applications include
detecting and biopsying suspicious lesions, diagnosing peptic ulcers, and identifying
sources of gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopy is essential for screening and
surveillance of gastrointestinal cancers, such as Barrett’s esophagus and colorectal
carcinoma. It also facilitates therapeutic interventions like polyp removal, dilation of
strictures, and hemostasis. But when all this is engulfed with the technical excellence
of artificial intelligence, things just get better and enable much more precision in
diagnosis and treatment.
How AI enhances endoscopy?
- Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: AI can identify subtle mucosal
changes and lesions that might be overlooked by the human eye, leading to earlier
and more precise diagnoses of conditions like Barrett’s esophagus, polyps, and
early-stage cancers.
Early cancer detection is one of the most powerful aspect of AI Endoscopy.
- Real-Time Lesion Detection: AI-powered systems provide immediate
feedback during procedures, enabling endoscopists to detect abnormalities instantly,
which can significantly improve patient outcomes through timely intervention.
- Standardization of Procedures: AI help reduce variability in
endoscopic examinations by providing consistent assessment criteria.
-
Increased Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR):
AI assists in
identifying
adenomas during colonoscopy, increasing ADR, which is directly correlated
with
reduced colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. The EVIS X1 is designed
to
enhance the visibility of lesions or polyps by augmenting the color and
texture
during an endoscopy with the help of NBI Technology.
- Automated Image Analysis and Classification: AI can classify
lesions in real-time, helping differentiate benign from malignant tissue, which aids
in decision-making regarding biopsy or resection.
- Detection of Rare and Difficult-to-Identify Conditions: AI’s
pattern recognition capabilities enable the identification of atypical or rare
gastrointestinal anomalies that might evade traditional detection methods.
- Cost-Effectiveness: By improving detection rates and reducing
unnecessary biopsies or repeat procedures, AI endoscopy can lower overall healthcare
costs while enhancing patient care quality.
Highlights of AI Endoscopy !
- Impact of TXI Technology
Another important aspect of AI Endoscopy is the emergence of TXI
technology which is
a cutting edge enhancement that helps interpreting images in a much
better and
accurate way. It combines the capabilities of increasing brightness,
color expansion
and texture enhancement, these three put together gives a much more
clearer image
which helps detect very subtle lesions and tissue differences as well.
- RDI Technology
It helps improve the visibility of bleeders during the endoscopy even
the ones that
are deeply embedded within. It is especially useful during emergency
endoscopic
procedures to stop bleeding.
- ERGO Grip
The EVIS X1 helps improve operation capability of the
physician with less fatigue even during lengthy and higher quantity
endoscopies.
