[ Summary ] Notably, IIc lesions are of interest to endoscopists owing to their small size, difficulty in detection, high risk of malignancy, and early metastasis in colorectal lesions. Unfortunately, detection of polyps may be missed even by expert colonoscopists; smallsized polyps are associated with a high risk of being missed or being misdiagnosed. The EndoBRAIN®-EYE (artificial intelligence endoscopic image diagnosis support software), which is currently being developed at our hospital, can assist in the detection of IIc lesions. In addition to the detection of raised and fl at lesions that are relatively easy to identify, EndoBRAIN®-EYE enables the detection of Ⅱc lesions.
