00:00:01.000  --> 00:00:05.000 
At the Helios Park-Klinikum in Leipzig, we have been using 

00:00:05.000  --> 00:00:09.000 
the support of artificial intelligence in colonoscopy 

00:00:09.000  --> 00:00:11.000 
for some time now, for example in the   

00:00:11.000  --> 00:00:16.000 
detection and assessment of so-called colon polyps.

00:00:19.000  --> 00:00:24.000 
It is a big advantage of the AI, that it is fatigue-free. 

00:00:24.000  --> 00:00:32.000 
AI can also display or at least detect very small changes 

00:00:32.000  --> 00:00:37.000 
that initially appear relatively inconspicuous. 

00:00:40.000  --> 00:00:44.000 
We use the AI conveniently in every 

00:00:44.000  --> 00:00:47.000 
routine examination  

00:00:47.000  --> 00:00:51.000 
where this equipment is available.

00:00:51.000  --> 00:00:55.000 
In these discussions, we must always 

00:00:55.000  --> 00:00:59.000 
keep the individual fate of our patients in mind. 

00:01:00.000  --> 00:01:02.000 
And we must manage to communicate

00:01:02.000  --> 00:01:06.000 
the diagnoses sensitively, empathetically 

00:01:06.000  --> 00:01:09.000 
and with medical expertise and  

00:01:09.000  --> 00:01:12.000 
also in line with the therapeutic perspective.

00:01:12.000  --> 00:01:16.000 
No AI can do this,  

00:01:16.000  --> 00:01:20.000 
it has to be communicated by doctors.

00:01:20.000  --> 00:01:24.000 
If you do a colonoscopy with the help of AI - 

00:01:24.000  --> 00:01:27.000 
assuming the other quality 

00:01:27.000  --> 00:01:30.000 
parameters are right - then the rate of

00:01:30.000  --> 00:01:34.000 
detecting early signs of colorectal cancer

00:01:34.000  --> 00:01:39.000 
is about 20% higher. 

00:01:39.000  --> 00:01:41.000 
That's a rough estimate,

00:01:41.000  --> 00:01:43.000 
but overall it seems to be in that range.
