Clinical Trial: Computer-assisted Detection of Colonic Polyps

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational

Official Title:

Brief Summary: Screening colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for adenoma detection in the colon. However, it has been shown that a considerable number of polyps can be missed during screening colonoscopy. Until now the endoscopist himself is responsible for the detection of adenomatous polyps. No automatic tools are available supporting the colonoscopist to detect lesions. Recently, a computer program was developed that can be used to recognize and extract suspicious structure from colonoscopy video sequences. The program was built to automatically detected colonic polyps and to highlight the polyps by colour marking. The program was now refined so that the respective structures can be highlighted during real time colonoscopy. The aim of this feasibility study is to test whether the software is applicable during real time colonoscopy.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Technische Universität München

Current Primary Outcome: Polyp detection [ Time Frame: up to 2 weeks (participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay or outpatient treatment, an expected average of 2 weeks) ]

After obtaining the histopathological diagnosis of resected polyps (approximately 3 days - 2 weeks) it can be determined whether the resected specimen contained polyp histology or not.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
