PUNE: Ruby Hall Clinic, in collaboration with FUJIFILM India, has proudly announced the installation of its first-ever, state-of-the-art CAD EYE Artificial Intelligence (AI) system in Pune. This groundbreaking technology is designed to enhance the early detection of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, addressing a pressing concern in the region. Pune, like several parts of India, confronts a rising threat, with gastric cancer ranking as the fifth most prevalent cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally in 2020, as per a Lancet study.
The CAD EYE AI system introduced in Pune employs advanced AI algorithms and real-world data to assist in the identification and characterization of suspected lesions during colonoscopies. Additionally, it excels in detecting early gastric flat lesions in gastrointestinal endoscopy, addressing a critical need in a region burdened by increased occurrence rates of esophageal, stomach, liver, and colorectal cancers. By boosting diagnostic accuracy and improving adenoma detection rates, CAD EYE enables timely intervention and increases the chances of successful treatment.
