Current status and progress of artificial intelligence in endoscopic and imaging diagnosis of colorectal cancer
J Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system globally,with both its incidence and mortality rates increasing annually in China.In recent years,there has been exponential growth in technology based on artificial intelligence,leading to significant advance-ments in the field of medical imaging diagnosis.Particularly in the application of colonoscopy,CT and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),artificial intelligence,leveraging its advanced image recogni-tion and feature analysis capabilities,has provided new perspectives for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer,thereby driving the realization of precision medicine.Currently,various artificial intelligence algorithms are either under development or optimization,such as performance comparisons of vari-ous artificial intelligence-assisted systems,the collaborative application of multiple algorithms,and integration with other omics.Additionally,challenges persist in the integration diffiiculty,interpre-tability and credibility,as well as cost and resource limitations of Al in clinical practice,necessitating further standardization and improvement.The authors explore the current status and progress of artificial intelligence in endoscopic and imaging diagnosis of colorectal cancer from four aspects:colonoscopy,CT,MRI and other imaging examination for reference and reference by peers.
