Advanced computer-aided detection system exhibits no more false positives than experienced endoscopists in an image-based comparative study of colon polyps

1

The study compared false positives (FPs) and diagnostic performance between a computer-aided detection (CADe) system and experienced endoscopists.
2

A total of 116 patients with pathologically confirmed small colon polyps were enrolled, resulting in 464 analyzed images.
3

The CADe system demonstrated sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy comparable to experienced endoscopists across various imaging conditions.
4

In fully inflated lumen images, the CADe system achieved higher specificity than endoscopists, while both showed similar sensitivity.
5

The study suggests that CADe systems have a similar number of FPs as endoscopists, highlighting the need for further research on CADe usability.
