Objective:

To compare the false positives (FPs) and overall diagnostic performance between computer-aided detection (CADe) systems and experienced endoscopists in a colonoscopy context.

Key Findings:
  • CADe system sensitivity: 90.09%, endoscopists: 87.56% (P = 0.46)
  • CADe system specificity: 86.64%, endoscopists: 85.41% (P = 0.79)
  • CADe system accuracy: 88.36%, endoscopists: 86.48% (P = 0.43)
  • In inflated lumen: CADe sensitivity 92.24%, endoscopists 92.61% (P = 1.00)
  • In deflated lumen: CADe sensitivity 87.93%, endoscopists 82.51% (P = 0.35)
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • Study conducted in a single center, limiting generalizability.
  • Potential for selection bias in patient enrollment.
Conclusion:
