Colorectal Neoplasms
Conditions
Brief summary
Narrow band imaging or electronic chromoendoscopy might provide similar adenoma detection capabilities while limiting time spent when compared to conventional chromoendoscopy method.
Interventions
Blue light is used during withdrawal phase instead of the regular white light to highlight surface changes
Indigo carmine will be sprayed during withdrawal phase of colonoscopy
High definition equipment will be used to perform colonoscopy
Sponsors
Study design
Masking description
Randomization cards will be sealed and opened after the subject is deemed eligible for the study by the PI. This will be done in an area away from the subject but due to the nature of the study, PI can't be blinded.
Eligibility

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adenomas per colonoscopy | during the procedure | total number of adenomas divided by total number of procedures |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adenoma detection rate | during the procedure | total number of patients with adenomas divided by total number of procedures |
| Sessile serrated polyps per colonoscopy | during the procedure | total number of sessile serrated polyps divided by total number of procedures |
| Sessile serrated polyp detection rate | during the procedure | total number of patients with sessile serrated polyps divided by total number of procedures |
| Withdrawal time | during the procedure | Time from cecal intubation to end of the procedure |
| Inspection time | during the procedure | Time during withdrawal minus time for interventions including washing, suctioning and polypectomy or biopsies |
