A Clinical Study on Endoscopic and Histopathological Outcomes of Screening and Surveillance Colonoscopies

Collecting Real-world Data on Endoscopic and Histopathological Outcomes of Screening and Surveillance Colonoscopies for the Development of a CAD (Computer Aided Detection) System: A Prospective, Multicenter, Post-market Investigation

The objective of this study is to collect colonoscopy data for use in the development and testing of artificial intelligence (AI) devices for colonoscopies.

The primary objective of this study is to collect colonoscopy data for use in the development and performance evaluation of AI devices. The data will be collected during routine colonoscopy procedures. Biopsy or resection will be performed if needed and all specimens will be sent for histopathological examination. The histopathological results will be recorded.
