This single-center retrospective pilot study sought to evaluate the computer-aided detection (CADe) function of CAD EYE™ (FUJIFILM Co., Ltd.) in colonoscopy screening. We assessed the clinical efficiency of CADe in detecting colorectal neoplastic lesions. The subjects were 100 patients who underwent total colonoscopy. They were divided into two groups: the 'AI group' who were examined with CADe and the 'Control group' who were examined without CADe. The background factors and lesion features did not differ between the two groups. The main outcome of this research was the adenoma detection rate (ADR). The ADR of the AI group was 8.0% higher than that of the Control group (P = 0.548). This suggests that ADR would be improved if CADe were combined with colonoscopy screening. However, the difference between the two groups in this main outcome was not statistically significant. Evaluating the effectiveness of AI devices in clinical settings is a key factor in their development. The authors propose to continue this research.
