AD4111 datasheet pg.29:
When the ADC is configured for bipolar operation, the output
code is offset binary with a negative full-scale voltage resulting
in a code of 000 … 000, a zero differential input voltage resulting in
a code of 100 … 000, and a positive full-scale input voltage
resulting in a code of 111 … 111. The output code for any
analog input voltage can be represented as
Code = 2^(N – 1) × ((V_IN × 0.1/V REF) + 1)
The output code for any input current is represented as
Code = 2^(N − 1) × ((I_IN × 50 Ω/V REF) + 1)

I would say bipolar applies here, not a great idea because of the limitation on
 the negative side (Input Current Range min:−0.5 max:+24 mA) so still, the option
 is available.
