Endoscopic prediction of submucosal invasion in Barrett's cancer with the use of artificial intelligence: a pilot study.

This pilot study demonstrates the first multicenter application of an AI-based system in the prediction of submucosal invasion in endoscopic images of Barrett's cancer. AI scored equally to international experts in the field, but more work is necessary to improve the system and apply it to video sequences and real-life settings. Nevertheless, the correct prediction of submucosal invasion in Barrett's cancer remains challenging for both experts and AI.
