The A.N. Ryzhikh National Medical Research Center of Coloproctology of the Ministry of Health of Russia (NMRC) in collaboration with Alnisoft has developed a medical device ArtInCo. The device works in integration with artificial intelligence (AI), the press service of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation reported.
The innovation is planned to be used to detect formations in the colon during colonoscopy. The development will improve the accuracy of diagnostics.
This computer vision solution is designed to assist in the detection of polyps and adenomas during colonoscopy. It is compatible with endoscopic equipment from various manufacturers. During colonoscopy, the AI assistant in real time "highlights" neoplasms of the colon, which may be subtle to the human eye, which significantly increases the accuracy of diagnosis and early prevention of cancer.
This is the first Russian-made invention that has been tested with the participation of patients.
Under the guidance of the Center, a randomized multicenter clinical trial has been initiated, designed for 1,000 patients, involving Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 31, the endoscopic center of the Moscow State Medical Center named after Botkin DZM, as well as the Republican Clinical Oncology Dispensary of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
ArtInCo's work has already been carried out on 100 patients this year. The accuracy of diagnosis during colonoscopy increased from 40.6% to 56.4%.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a neural network was developed in St. Petersburg to detect brain hematomas on CT scans.
