description

Endoscopic imaging is the mainstay of gastrointestinal endoscopy and has experienced remarkable improvements in recent decades. Further endoscopic innovations stemming from major technological advances such as artificial intelligence and deep learning are at advanced stages of development and will be increasingly deployed in routine clinical practice. These will improve the detection and enable real-time optical diagnosis of pathologies in the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, the utilization of endoscopic robots may result in higher diagnostic yield and greater patient comfort. This chapter covers the most recent developments around computer-assisted diagnosis, hypoxia and three-dimensional imaging, robotic-assisted endoscopy, and eye-tracking technology in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy highlighting devices that have received regulatory approval and systems that are at earlier developmental stages but that have the potential to strongly impact clinical practice in the future.
