OBJECTIVES: Colonoscopy has an appreciable miss rate for adenomas and colorectal
cancer. The goal of advanced endoscopic imaging is to improve lesion detection. Compared …

While colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for colon cancer screening, recent
advancements in endoscopes have allowed for improved visualization of the colonic …

Up to a quarter of polyps and adenomas are missed during colonoscopy due to poor
visualization behind folds and the inner curves of flexures, and the presence of flat lesions …

OBJECTIVES: Evidence has shown that computerized tomographic colonography (CTC)
and optical colonoscopy (OC) can detect advanced adenomas at an equal rate; however, a …

Background Adenoma and polyp detection rates (ADR and PDR, respectively) are important
indicators of endoscopy quality, particularly in colorectal carcinoma screening. Objective To …

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 Virtual colonoscopy is a new method of imaging the colon in which thin-section,
helical computed tomography (CT) is used to generate high-resolution, two-dimensional …

Background and study aims Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is an important quality indicator
in colonoscopy, and improved ADR decreases the incidence of colorectal cancer. We …

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 …

Introduction The incremental yield of I-Scan virtual chromoendoscopy compared to high-
definition white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) in detection of colorectal adenomas has not been …
