High risk subjects
Average risk
Each subject will ingest the C-Scan System capsule within 30 days prior to colonoscopy. The results of the C-Scan review will be compared to the findings of colonoscopy. Subjects to be enrolled in this study are indicated and scheduled to undergo optical colonoscopy based on the following symptoms or by being classified as higher than average risk based on one or more of the following: c. Surveillance - Significant findings in previous optical colonoscopy d. Diagnostic - Polyps detected in virtual colonoscopy referred for polypectomy e. Diagnostic - Polyps detected in previous optical colonoscopy (community setting) referred for polypectomy f. Diagnostic - Positive FIT test g. Diagnostic - one or more of the typical symptoms:
Each subject will ingest the C-Scan System capsule within 30 days prior to colonoscopy. The results of the C-Scan review will be compared to the findings of colonoscopy. Average risk based on their age and demographics referred for screening for polyps.
