The Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Gastroenterology

Dear Colleagues,

The wave of artificial intelligence (AI) is sweeping all fields of medicine, including gastroenterology and gastrointestinal endoscopy. 

To date, AI represents a promising solution to overcome human biases, provide diagnostic support, improve clinical decision-making, and standardize outcome assessment in scientific research.
An extensive body of evidence regarding AI in gastroenterology is currently available, but the transition of these technologies to the bedside is still in progress. 

This Special Issue aims to summarize and evaluate the applications and recent advances of artificial intelligence in gastroenterology, addressing their effectiveness, limitations, and future perspectives.

Topics covered

• Lesion detection during colonoscopy (ADR, AMR, etc.);
• Quality assessment of colonoscopy (bowel cleansing, mucosal exposure quality, etc.).
• Inflammatory bowel diseases (activity assessment and dysplasia);
• Upper GI (Barrett, early gastric cancer, etc.);
• Capsule endoscopy;
• EUS;
• Hepatology;
• Pancreatology.
