Current methods for assessing preparation quality are subjective and limited to specific gastrointestinal segments. Although prior research explored artificial intelligence models for colon preparation classification, this study aimed to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automatic evaluation of bowel cleanliness in DAE, addressing both small bowel and colon cleansing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed 28 procedures (single balloon, double-balloon, and motorized spiral enteroscopy from January 2023 to May 2024). Bowel preparation was graded as excellent (\u2265 90% visible mucosa), satisfactory (50%-90%), or unsatisfactory (&lt; 50%). A dataset of 88,623 images (training: 90%, testing: 10%) was used, covering both small bowel and colon areas. CNN performance was evaluated against expert consensus using sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under a receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The CNN demonstrated the following performance metrics: excellent cleansing (sensitivity: 97.8%, specificity: 80.3%, accuracy: 90.6%, AUC-ROC: 0.95), satisfactory cleansing (sensitivity: 81.8%, specificity: 97.9%, accuracy: 92.7%, AUC-ROC: 0.95), and unsatisfactory cleansing (sensitivity: 68.7%, specificity: 99.5%, accuracy: 96.8%, AUC-ROC: 0.96).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Current bowel cleanliness assessment methods are subjective and region-specific. This study presents the first CNN capable of panendoscopic bowel cleanliness evaluation during DAE, achieving high accuracy and demonstrating potential for real-time clinical application. This study marks a key step toward standardizing cleanliness assessment and endoscopy quality improvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2778-5666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,20]],"date-time":"2026-01-20T00:09:31Z","timestamp":1768867771000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"special_numbering":"S","title":["Automated
