A colonoscopy is an outpatient exam where a doctor uses a long, flexible tube with a camera to visually inspect your entire colon. It is a critical preventative screening tool used to detect potential issues like polyps, diverticulosis, and colorectal cancer, often before you experience any symptoms. The American Cancer Society recommends regular screenings starting at age 45 because early detection is key to effective treatment.
Hackensack University Medical Center uses an FDA-authorized AI system during colonoscopies to enhance the detection of polyps. The AI technology acts as a second set of eyes for the doctor, using computer-aided detection to help identify colorectal polyps of varying shapes and sizes in real time. This increases the precision of the exam and helps facilitate the early diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer.
