Advancement of artificial intelligence systems for surveillance endoscopy of Barrett's esophagus

Dig Liver Dis. 2024 Jul;56(7):1126-1130. doi: 10.1016/j.dld.2023.11.038. Epub 2023 Dec 8.

Abstract

Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a precursor disease for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Timely detection and treatment has significant influence on patient outcomes. Over the last years, several artificial intelligence (AI) systems have emerged to assist the endoscopist. The primary focus of research has been computer aided detection (CADe). Several groups have succeeded in developing competitive models for neoplasia detection. Additionally, computer aided diagnosis (CADx) models have been developed for subsequent lesion characterization and assistance in clinical decision making. Future studies should focus on bridging the domain gap between academic development and integration in daily practice.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Barrett's esophagus; Computer aided detection.
