Wednesday, September 29, 2021

SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wision AI, a leader in developing computer-aided diagnostic algorithms and real-time systems to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of diagnostic imaging, today announced the publication of data demonstrating positive results and competitive advantages of using its artificial intelligence computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) system during colorectal cancer screening in a U.S. patient population. In this world’s first external independent randomized controlled trial (RCT) of AI in the medical field conducted in the United States (NCT03925337), 232 patients were enrolled for screening and surveillance colonoscopy in four leading U.S. academic institutions. Results indicated that the Wision AI‘s CADe device, EndoScreener, significantly reduced the adenoma miss rate (31.25% vs. 20.12%, p=0.0247) and increased adenoma detected per colonoscopy (0.90 vs. 1.19, p=0.0323). The trial data have been published in Clinical Gastroenterology & Hepatology.i

Key Points: 
  • In this worlds first external independent randomized controlled trial (RCT) of AI in the medical field conducted in the United States (NCT03925337), 232 patients were enrolled for screening and surveillance colonoscopy in four leading U.S. academic institutions.
  • This is the worlds first randomized controlled trial of AI technology to conclusively show generalizability by independent, external validation.
  • Patients in the trial were randomly assigned to groups that received either AI-assisted colonoscopy or routine colonoscopy, followed immediately by the other procedure.
  • Patients were randomized to either CADe (n=113) or HDWL colonoscopy (n=110) first, after which they immediately underwent colonoscopy using the other method.
