Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study the investigators aim to evaluate the ability of i-scan OE together with magnification endoscopy to detect and assess microscopic inflammation in patients with inflammator bowel diseases (IBD).
Detailed description
In this study the investigators aim to evaluate the ability of i-scan OE together with magnification endoscopy to detect and assess microscopic inflammation in patients with inflammator bowel diseases. For this purpose, IBD patients will be prospectively enrolled and inflammatory changes will be assessed using optical magnification endoscopy in conjunction with optical chromoendoscopy. Endoscopic scoring of inflammatory changes in IBD patients will be done on a newly developed magnification score resulting as a consensus from experts in optical diagnosis and endoscopy in IBD patients. Results will be correlated against histopathology.
Interventions
All IBD patients will undergo magnification endoscopy with 136-fold optical magnification in conjunction with optical chromoendoscopy

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of endoscopic Inflammation | 12 months | Endoscopic Inflammation will be determined and scored by assessement of the vascular and mucosal pattern under magnification endoscopy. |
| Assessment of histopathological Inflammation | 12 months | Histopathologic Inflammation will be assessed by grading inflammation of intestinal biopsies routinely obtained during colonoscopy on established pathological scores. |
