NCT01761279

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic Accuracy of In-vivo Polyp Assessment

    Diagnostic accuracy of in-vivo assessment of colonic polyps \<10mm in size using high definition white light endoscopy and high definition white light endoscopy plus i-Scan image enhancement. Accuracy compared to the gold standard of histopathology. Accuracy - number of polyps with histology correctly predicted by in-vivo method/total number of polyps assessed (Expressed as a percentage)

    Once histopathology results are known, approximately 2 weeks after in-vivo assessment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Sensitivity for Adenomatous Histology of Colonic Polyps <10mm in Size

    Once histopathology results are known, approximately 2 weeks after in-vivo assessment

  • Specificity for Adenomatous Histology of Colonic Polyps <10mm in Size

    Once histopathology results are known, approximately 2 weeks after in-vivo assessment

  • Negative Predictive Value for Adenomatous Histology of Rectosigmoid Polyps ≤5mm in Size

    Once histopathology results are known, approximately 2 weeks after in-vivo assessment

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of Prediction of Polyp Surveillence Intervals

    Once histopathology results are known, approximately 2 weeks after in-vivo assessment
