Anal ultrasound · Anorectal lesion assessment
See the structure. Characterize the finding.
Smart Procto® is an AI‑powered solution designed to assist in detecting and characterizing lesions during live and previously acquired endoanal ultrasound examinations.
01 · Intended use
AI assistance for endoanal ultrasound.
Smart Procto® supports the detection and characterization of benign anorectal lesions and relevant anal structures during live and previously acquired examinations.
Its algorithms provide rapid, precise image analysis and bounding box guidance while keeping interpretation and care decisions with the clinician.
The clinical challenge
Endoanal ultrasound depends on specialized interpretation.
Benign anorectal conditions may present with subtle or overlapping ultrasound patterns. Operator dependency and technical complexity can limit consistent access to precise imaging assessment.
“AI can help organize complex ultrasound findings for a faster, more focused clinical review.”
How it works
One continuous path from ultrasound to focused review.
Smart Procto® supports the endoanal ultrasound workflow while keeping interpretation and care decisions in expert hands.
Anal ultrasound acquisition
Live or previously acquired anal ultrasound images enter the analysis workflow.
Anorectal lesion detection
The AI detects and tracks anorectal lesions across the anal ultrasound examination.
Pattern characterization
Image patterns are assessed to support consistent characterization of benign anorectal findings.
Focused review
Relevant areas are prioritized and presented clearly for clinician interpretation.
Clinical output
Bounding box guidance and organized AI findings support the final assessment.
AI capabilities
Designed for focused anorectal lesion assessment.
