Aim We sought to compare the performance of colonoscopy using a high‐definition, wide‐
angle endoscope vs a standard colonoscope for the detection of polyps. Method A total of …

Background and study aims: The resolution of endoscopes has increased in recent years.
Modern Fujinon colonoscopes have a charge-coupled device (CCD) pixel density of 650000 …

Background Colonoscopy has a known miss rate for polyps and adenomas. High definition
(HD) colonoscopes may allow detection of subtle mucosal change, potentially aiding …

Background: In our previous trial, a transparent hood attached to the tip of the colonoscope
was shown to be helpful in shortening the cecal intubation time (Am J Gastroenterol 2007; …

Background & Aims: It is essential to optimize standard colonoscopy technique to be able to
increase polyp detection. We sought to compare the performance of colonoscopy using a …

BACKGROUND: A major factor that may contribute to a higher adenoma miss rate during
colonoscopy is undetected lesions located behind haustral folds, flexures, or rectal valves …

Background Increasing attention is focused on polyp-related features that may contribute to
the operator-dependent nature of colonoscopy. Few data on polyps are available from high …

Colonoscopy with polypectomy has been shown to be effective in reducing incidence and
mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC). The increase in use of colonoscopy in national …

AIM: To investigate the rates of polyp detection in a mixed risk population using standard
definition (SDC) vs high definition colonoscopes (HDC). METHODS: This was a …

Abstract Background and Aims Most studies reporting polyp size use visual estimates.
Determining the prevalence of advanced histology based on direct measurement of polyp …
