Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computational tools into gastrointestinal diagnostics marks a paradigm shift in clinical practice. This Special Issue, “AI and Computational Tools in Gastrointestinal Diagnostics: Shaping the Future of Clinical Practice,” aims to highlight the latest advancements and future directions in this rapidly evolving field.
We welcome original research and comprehensive reviews addressing the development, validation, and clinical implementation of AI algorithms. Key topics of interest include computer-aided detection (CADe) and diagnosis (CADx) systems for endoscopic procedures, deep learning models for pathological analysis, and predictive modeling for risk stratification.
In particular, we strongly encourage submissions that explore human-AI interaction, addressing critical issues such as automation bias and automation neglect. Understanding how clinicians interact with these tools and the potential pitfalls of automated decision-making is essential for the safe and effective adoption of AI in real-world settings.
