OBSERVATION
PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ assists endoscopists in finding potential polyps during a colonoscopy examination. It is designed to detect even the most subtle lesions. Multiple factors are considered to have a negative impact on the detection rate, one of them being the human factor.
PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ offers you major benefits
GET HIGHLY FOCUSED ASSISTANCE In your exams
1
Colorectal cancer prevention is the primary goal of screening and diagnostic colonoscopy. At least 50%¹ of all interval carcinomas (iCRCs; defined as a cancer diagnosed between screening and post-screening surveillance colonoscopies) arise from missed lesions during colonoscopy. PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ has a high potential to contribute in decreasing the appearance of (interval) colorectal cancer by assisting endoscopists in finding potential polyps during a colonoscopy examination.
INCREASE CONFIDENCE IN THE EXAMINATION OUTCOME

The per case cost of colorectal cancer in Canada ranges from $20,319 to $39,182².
PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ could potentially contribute to improving health care cost-efficiency.

Expert curated database
with thousands of images
PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ learned from a database of images including the most difficult lesions. This database contains thousands of dedicated images of each kind of polyp, annotated by renowned colorectal cancer centers worldwide. With this database, PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ assists endoscopists in finding potential polyps during a colonoscopy examination.
The database of PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ is what sets it truly apart from any other solution in the market. The training of the Artificial Intelligence was based on a vast amount of expertly curated images.

The PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ uses advanced artificial intelligence to highlight the presence of pre-cancerous lesions with a visual marker in real-time – serving as an ever vigilant second observer.
“
Prof Peter Siersema,
Professor of Endoscopic Gastrointestinal Oncology,
Editor-in-Chief, Endoscopy, Radboud University, Netherlands
Computer-aided detection has been shown to increase the detection of pre-cancerous colorectal lesions. The introduction of the PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™artificial intelligence system opens the door to a new era where endoscopists and PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ jointly reduce health-care costs by decreasing the prevalence of colorectal cancer.
“
Major benefits
In our fight against colorectal cancer we have already achieved a lot. However, up to 26%¹ of lesions are still missed in examinations. That’s why we’re committed to developing new solutions to overcome daily challenges in colonoscopy procedures.
26%
Through digital and optical image enhancement we were able to increase adenoma detection rates (ADR) by up to 11%².
VISIBILITY
By using enhancement technology, such as RetroView™, the ADR could increase up to 24.9%³.
BLIND SPOTS
The human factor remains a challenge within colonoscopy. Now PENTAX Medical DISCOVERY™ will help you solve this, as well.

¹ According to studies miss rates for polyps of any size are approximately 22 – 26%, and an AMR (adenoma miss rate) of 27% for serrated polyps. Missed lesions may have the possibility to develop into cancer.
