The COVID-19 pandemic created an increased shift toward the use of digital technology, and recent advances in gastro technology, including the digitization of aggregated gastroenterology data, specifically clinical, laboratory and imaging have made EHRs a particularly valuable application for AI.
Standard imaging tests for gastric conditions include upper gastrointestinal series (UGI), ultrasounds, MRIs, CT scans and X-rays. For an even clearer picture of the gastrointestinal tract, a barium swallow or barium enema may be used in conjunction with an X-ray.
