Improving Quality of Colonoscopy Using a 3D-imager
Phase 3
Completed
- Conditions
- Pain During Colonoscopy
- Registration Number
- NCT00519129
- Lead Sponsor
- Sorlandet Hospital HF
- Brief Summary
Coloscopy may be a painful procedure for the patient. This is due to a loop-formation of the coloscope. A 3D-real time imager produced by Olympus creates a real-time image of the scope while a traditional fluoroscopy device will only show instant pictures. We want to investigate whether the 3D-imager causes the patient less pain and is more time consuming than ordinary fluoroscopy
