A Prospective, Single Blinded Study for Predicting Colon Polyp Histology With Narrow Band Imaging

Not Applicable
Conditions
Colonoscopy
Adenomatous Polyp
Neoplastic
Registration Number
NCT00613262
Lead Sponsor
Midwest Biomedical Research Foundation
Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that NBI will have a high accuracy in predicting polyp histology real time during a colonoscopy by visualization of the surface mucosal and vascular patterns. Aim#1: To determine the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of NBI and standard white light colonoscopy for predicting polyp histology by evaluating the surface mucosal and vascular patterns during colonoscopy. Aim#2: To determine the inter-observer agreement between investigators for the recognition of various polyp patterns.
