Brief Summary

Detection and removal of polyps during colonoscopy is crucial for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Indigo carmine spraying up to the colonic mucosa could probably increase the adenoma detection rate, but considering the long withdrawal time of the endoscope and the resulting increase in time and cost. Linked-color imaging (LCI) is a newly developed image-enhanced endoscopy technology. It relies on wave length optimization of three colors (red, green, and blue) to make the lesions appear fuller. LCI improves the visibility of colorectal adenomas and polyps and may increase the detection rate of lesions. In order to explore the clinical application value of Linked-color imaging endoscopy, we performed a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare adenoma detection rate of Linked-color imaging endoscopy and indigo carmine chromoendoscopy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • adenoma detection rate(ADR)

    adenoma detection rate (ADR) defined as the percentage of patients with at least one histologically confirmed adenomatous polyp detected and resected during colonoscopy.

    Periprocedural

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • detected rate of different lesions

    Periprocedural
