IBD is more prevalent in Europe and North America, however, since the beginning of the 21st century it has been increasing in South America, Asia, and Africa, leading to its consideration as a worldwide problem. Optical colonoscopy is one of the crucial tests in diagnosing and assessing the progression and prognosis of IBD, as it allows a real-time optical visualization of the colonic wall and ileum and allows for the collection of tissue samples. The accuracy of colonoscopy procedures depends on the expertise and ability of the endoscopists. Therefore, algorithms based on Deep Learning (DL) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for colonoscopy images and videos are growing in popularity, especially for the detection and classification of colorectal polyps. The performance of this system is dependent on the quality and quantity of the data used for training. There are several datasets publicly available for endoscopy images and videos, but most of them are solely specialized in polyps. The use of DL algorithms to detect IBD is still in its inception, most studies are based on assessing the severity of UC. As artificial intelligence (AI) grows in popularity there is a growing interest in the use of these algorithms for diagnosing and classifying the IBDs and managing their progression. To tackle this, more annotated colonoscopy images and videos will be required for the training of new and more reliable AI algorithms. This article discusses the current challenges in the early detection of IBD, focusing on the available AI algorithms, and databases, and the challenges ahead to improve the detection rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frobt.2024.1453194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,21]],"date-time":"2024-10-21T05:10:31Z","timestamp":1729487431000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Advancements in the use of AI in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Dalia","family":"Braverman-Jaiven","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Manfredi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","first-page":"35","article-title":"Real-time lumen detection for autonomous colonoscopy","volume-title":"MICCAI workshop on imaging systems for GI endoscopy","author":"Al-Bander","year":"2022"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1038\/s41597-020-00622-y","article-title":"HyperKvasir, a comprehensive multi-class image and video dataset for gastrointestinal endoscopy","volume":"7","author":"Borgli","year":"2020","journal-title":"Sci. data"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.1136\/flgastro-2021-102003","article-title":"Artificial intelligence and inflammatory bowel disease: practicalities and future prospects","volume":"13","author":"Brooks-Warburton","year":"2022","journal-title":"Frontline Gastroenterol."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/3228832","article-title":"Artificial intelligence in inflammatory bowel disease endoscopy: advanced development and new horizons","volume":"2023","author":"Chang","year":"2023","journal-title":"Gastroenterology Res.
