The role of computer-assisted systems for upper-endoscopy quality monitoring and assessment of gastric lesions.

ABSTRACT: This article analyses the literature regarding the value of computer-assisted systems in esogastroduodenoscopy-quality monitoring and the assessment of gastric lesions. Current data show promising results in upper-endoscopy quality control and a satisfactory detection accuracy of gastric premalignant and malignant lesions, similar or even exceeding that of experienced endoscopists. Moreover, artificial systems enable the decision for the best treatment strategies in gastric-cancer patient care, namely endoscopic vs surgical resection according to tumor depth. In so doing, unnecessary surgical interventions would be avoided whilst providing a better quality of life and prognosis for these patients. All these performance data have been revealed by numerous studies using different artificial
