Chinese guideline for the application of rectal cancer staging recognition systems based on artificial intelligence platforms (2021 edition)

Development and Application of Artificial Intelligence Recognition Systems in Rectal Cancer Staging Whether for surgical treatment or for neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,imaging evaluation has become an important basis to perform the treatment plans.[1]The reading of imaging results requires a large number of experienced radiologists to complete,but shortages and uneven distributions of personnel cause delays and biases in imaging results.Therefore,independent research and development of automatic recognition systems of rectal cancer staging based on artificial intelligence(AI)platforms aim to partially replace practitioners’work and achieve rapid and accurate identification of rectal cancer staging.
