1 Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) causes approximately 900,000 deaths worldwide (Bray et al., 2018) and around 16,800 deaths in the United Kingdom annually. A total of 42,900 new cases were reported in the UK in 2018, making CRC the third most common cancer, accounting for 11% of all new cancer cases. Optical colonoscopy is the gold standard procedure for CRC screening. However, its quality is strongly dependent on the gastroenterologist’s skill level (Baxter et al., 2009).
