Brief summary
You are invited to participate in a study using TXI, which is a new imaging software in colonoscopy. This has recently been incorporated within the machine used to process pictures of your bowel during colonoscopy and is available for use in our hospital. TXI enhances the colour and texture characteristics of the bowel lining, making subtle changes and abnormalities more noticeable during colonoscopy. This technology can highlight the contrast between a polyp and the surrounding normal tissue, potentially aiding in the detection of small or flat polyps that may otherwise be missed. Our recent experience with this technology suggests it may increase the ability of endoscopists to detect polyps in the bowel and help us make a decision about which ones may need to be removed. Since you are undergoing a colonoscopy to detect or exclude polyps in your bowel, we would like to invite you to participate in this study.
Interventions
TXI is just an imaging technique which is already built in the software that is used for colonoscopy. The TXI is used simply by toggling a button on the colonoscope which toggles between white light and TXI light.
The duration will be same as duration of the colonoscopy which is about 20 minutes.
The colonoscopy will be performed in the endoscopy suite as standard
There will not be a cross over
intervention will be delivered by gastroenterologists
duration would be duration of procedure, mi
