Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science. As a new technological science, it mainly develops and expands human intelligence through the research of intelligence theory, methods and technology. In the medical field, AI has bright application prospects (for example: imaging, diagnosis and treatment). The exploration of robotic gastroscopy and colonoscopy systems is not only a bold attempt, but also an inevitable trend of AI in the development of digestive endoscopy in the future. Based on the current research findings, this article summarizes the research progress of colonoscopy, and looking forward for the application of AI in colonoscopy.
Core Tip: Artificial intelligence is a new technological science that studies and develops theories, methods, technologies and application systems for simulating and expanding human intelligence. This article will systematically review the exploration and application of artificial intelligence technology in colonoscopy, and look forward to the development direction of intelligent colonoscopy.
