Deep learning meets small-bowel capsule endoscopy: A step toward faster and more consistent diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding

Core Tip

Core Tip: Small-bowel capsule endoscopy is invaluable for evaluating obscure gastrointestinal bleeding but remains limited by lengthy review times and interobserver variability. This study introduces a deep learning system that integrates gastrointestinal localization with multi-lesion detection in full-length capsule videos, achieving high accuracy and cutting reading time from nearly an hour to just minutes. By closely mimicking human reading workflow and validating across centers, the work highlights a practical step toward clinically deployable artificial intelligence assistance, with the potential to standardize interpretation and improve efficiency in routine practice.
