Colorectal Cancer stands as the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. Originating from mucosal abnormalities such as polyps or other precancerous growths, early detection through colonoscopies is crucial for preventing the progression of CRC. However, high missed detection rates pose a significant challenge, putting patients at risk even with regular screenings. The potential impact is staggering, with over 13,500 CRC cases in the USA alone that could be prevented with more effective detection methods.

Last year, in a significant stride towards combating Colorectal Cancer (CRC), Magentiq Eye Ltd. received the coveted £510,000 clearance from the FDA for its ground-breaking MagentiqColo solution. This AI-powered software is designed to enhance the accuracy of colonoscopy procedures by detecting lesions in real-time, offering a promising advancement in the field of Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR).

Let’s delve into the importance of the breakthrough:
