Reducing digestive cancer mortality starts even before treatment – with stronger prevention and screening. Hear from Thomas Seufferlein from ESDO on the key actions needed to move digestive cancer prevention forward 👉 https://bit.ly/4mYFleR #DigestiveHealthMonth #EUNewsline

Seit 2001 lese ich @heise.de - umso besonderer war es, dort einen Artikel über unsere neue Studie zu lesen. Besonders gefreut hat mich, dass er von Chefredakteur @doczet.bsky.social stammt. @uni-wuerzburg.de #UniklinikWürzburg

Eine randomisierte Studie in deutschen Privatpraxen zeigt: KI-gestützte Polyperkennung verbessert die Adenomdetektionsrate erfahrener Gastroenterologen nicht. #Künstliche Intelligenz

After years of work, our paper is now out in npj Digital Medicine: we developed an AI for polyp detection and tested it in a randomized clinical study in GI practices. www.nature.com/articles/s41... The software is freely available via our lab website. #AI #Gastroenterology #DigitalHealth
