Prediction of Polyp Pathology Using Convolutional Neural Networks Achieves “Resect and Discard” Thresholds

Abstract

This study demonstrates the feasibility of in situ diagnosis of colorectal polyps using CNN. Our model exceeds PIVI thresholds for both "resect and discard" and "diagnose and leave" strategies independent of NBI use. Point-of-care adenoma detection rate and surveillance recommendations are potential added benefits.
