Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study,the AI-assisted system(EndoAngel)has the functions of reminding the ileocecal junction, withdrawal time, withdrawal speed, sliding lens, polyps in the field of vision, etc. These functions can improve the colonoscopy performance of novice physicians and assist the colonoscopy training。

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Colonoscopy is a key technique for detecting and diagnosing lesions of the lower digestive tract.High-quality endoscopy leads to better disease outcomes.However, the demand for endoscopy is high in China, and endoscopy is in short supply.A colonoscopy is a complex technical procedure that requires training and experience for maximal accuracy and safety.Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the colonoscopy ability of novice physicians and shorten the colonoscopy training time for solving the problems such as the lack and uneven distribution of digestive endoscopists and the substandard quality of endoscopy in China.

In recent years, deep learning algorithms have been continuously developed and increasingly mature.They have been gradually applied to the medical field. Computer vision is a science that studies how to make machines "see". Through deep learning, camera and computer can replace human eyes to carry out machine vision such as target recognition, tracking and measurement.Interdisciplinary cooperation in the field of medical imaging and computer vision is also one of the research hotspots in recent years. At present, it is mainly applied to the automatic identification and detection of lesions and quality control, and has achieved good results.

Our preliminary experiments have shown that deep learning has a high accuracy in endoscopic quality monitoring, which can effectively regulate doctors' operations, reduce blind spots and improve the quality of endoscopic examination.At the same time, it can also monitor the doctor's withdrawal time in real time and improve the detection rate of adenoma.In the previous work of our research group, we have successfully developed deep learning-based colonoscopy withdraw speed monitoring and intestinal cleanliness assessment, and verified the effectiveness of the AI-assisted system(EndoAngel) in improving the quality of gastroscopy and colonoscopy in clinical trials.

Based on the above rich foundation of preliminary work, as well as the huge demand in the field of colonoscopy training,By comparing the colonoscopy operation training for novices with and without EndoAngel assistance, we plan to compare the colonoscopy learning effect of novices with and without assistance, including skill results and cognitive level, to explore whether AI can promote the improvement of the colonoscopy operation training for novices.

with AI-assisted system

The novice doctors are trained in colonoscopy with an artificial intelligence assisted system that can indicate abnormal lesions and the speed of withdrawal in real time, as well as feedback on the percentage of overspeed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

artificial intelligence assistance system

Intervention Type DEVICE

the artificial intelligence assistance system can indicate abnormal lesions and real-time withdrawal speed, and feedback the overspeed percentage.

without AI-assisted system

The novice doctors receive routine colonoscopy training without artificial intelligence assistance system and no special tips
