Abstract:
The broad use of artificial intelligence (AI) and its various applications have already shown significant impact in medicine and in everyday life. In gastroenterology, the most studied AI tools at present are computer-aided detection (CADe) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx). These tools have been mainly assessed during colonoscopy for the detection of polyps and for the prediction of their histology based on their appearance. Their use aims to improve colonoscopy quality, standardize procedures, and potentially reduce costs. Data on CADe demonstrate clear benefits that are applicable to clinical practice. While CADx shows good diagnostic performance, its additional benefits in assisting endoscopists remain unclear.

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...
