Abstract:
Artificial intelligence(AI)and information and communication technology(ICT)are beginning to be used in the digital transformation of endoscopic images. In Japan, several AI systems for digestive organ endoscopy have been approved as programmed medical devices and are being introduced into clinical practice. Although it is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in endoscopic examinations for organs other than the digestive organs, research and development for practical application are still in their infancy. This article introduces AI for gastrointestinal endoscopy and the author's research on cystoscopy.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
