Computer-aided detection during colonoscopy to identify advanced colorectal neoplasias and adenomas and the benefits and harms of CADe were explored in both a randomized trial and systematic review, both published online Aug. 28 in theCarolina Mangas-Sanjuan, M.D., Ph.D., from the Hospital General Universitario Dr. Balmis in Spain, and colleagues examined the contribution of CADe to colonoscopic detection of advanced colorectal neoplasias as well as other lesions in a.
The researchers found no significant difference in the detection rate of advanced colorectal neoplasia or in the mean number of advanced colorectal neoplasias detected per colonoscopy in the colonoscopy plus CADe versus colonoscopy without CADe groups. There was also no difference in the adenoma detection rate.
