Artificial Intelligence To Detect Colorectal Polyps

Early detection of colon cancer thanks to funds provided by the State Research Agency (AEI), an agency of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, which promotes scientific and technological research in all areas of knowledge through efficient allocation of public resources Leading project to install . Researchers from the University of Vigo and the Hospital Universitario de Ourense have developed an innovative detection system for colorectal polyps that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect them, as well as diagnose their degree of malignancy in real time, whether they are benign or tumor. The PolyDeep project started in 2018, promoted by the State Program Oriented to Society's Challenges, and ends in 2021. In total, the budget given to the project is 127,171 Euros and it is co-financed with the European Federated Fund and the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. The initiative is led by researchers Miguel Rebeiro Jato and Daniel González Peña from the New Generation Computer Systems (SING) group of Ourense Higher School of Computer Engineering, University of Vigo, in collaboration with the Research Group in Digestive Oncology.
