In November 2021, doctors at Midwest Gastrointestinal Associates in Omaha got a new computer-aided system called GI Genius. The device was designed to help doctors performing colonoscopies identify suspicious tissue that might be a polyp or precancerous lesion in the colon. The Medtronic device puts a little green box on any spot it thinks might be a polyp, using the same display screen a doctor is watching while navigating the colon’s twists and turns. Finding and removing the lesions is important because it decreases a patient’s risk of developing colon cancer. After adopting the system, the group’s already seen an increase in the number of polyps found.
