Core Tip

Core Tip: The development of computer technology has promoted the progress of medical treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been gradually applied in the medical field and achieved good results. The detection of colorectal lesions in the conventional gastrointestinal endoscopy is difficult, the diagnosis time is long, and there is often the problem of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. AI is a good aid for doctors. In this review, we summarize the application of AI in the detection of colorectal lesions in recent years, in order to provide reference for the follow-up development and research.
