A Prospective Single-blind Observational Cohort Study of High Definition White Light Endoscopy and i-Scan Image Enhancement for the Characterisation of Small Colonic Polyps
In Brief
An observational study evaluating High definition white light endoscopy for Colonic Polyps. Completed, enrolled 84 participants.
Detailed Summary
Current standard practice is to remove all colonic polyps found during colonoscopy as it has not been possible to distinguish between polyps with some malignant potential (adenomatous) and those with negligable malignant potential (non-adenomatous). Recent advances in endoscope imaging and technology have allowed endoscopists to distinguish between these two types of polyps by examining minute surface details. i-Scan is a new digital enhancement method that aims to enhance surface details and may enable similar accurate distinction between adenomatous and non-adenomatous polyps. Hypothesis: High definition white light endoscopy plus i-Scan improves diagnostic accuracy of in-vivo assessment of colonic polyps \<10mm in size over high definition white light endoscopy alone.
