Artificial Intelligence-Guided Detection of Blood Vessels to Enhance Safety in Third-Space Endoscopic Procedures

Brief Summary

This prospective study aims to evaluate the performance of a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) clinical decision support tool during third space endoscopic procedures, such as Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) and Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM). While these procedures are effective for treating gastrointestinal neoplasms and motility disorders, they carry risks of intraprocedural bleeding and perforation if submucosal blood vessels are not correctly identified and coagulated. Building on previous retrospective validation, this study will assess whether a real-time artificial intelligence model can assist endoscopists in detecting and delineating blood vessels more accurately and faster during live human procedures.
