“GI Genius is a breakthrough in colorectal cancer screening. In real-time, it can help physicians identify hard-to-detect and potentially cancerous polyps,” Brian MacLaughlin, MD, a surgeon at the hospital, said in a news release. “Decreasing the miss rate of potentially cancerous polyps will undoubtedly save even more lives.”
