Computer Aided Detection, Tandem Colonoscopy Study
Colonic Diseases
About this trial
This is an interventional screening trial for Colonic Diseases
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients presenting to the endoscopy unit for a screening colonoscopy or a surveillance colonoscopy
- Willingness to undergo tandem colonscopies with and without the use of computer-aided software while undergoing conventional colonoscopy with sedation
- Ability to provide written, informed consent (approved by IRB) and understand the responsibilities of trial participation
Exclusion Criteria:
- People with diminished cognitive capacity
- Patients undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy (e.g. as an evaluation for active GI bleed)
- Patients with incomplete colonoscopies (those where endoscopists did not successfully intubate the cecum due to technical difficulties or poor bowel preparation)
- Patients that have standard contraindications to colonoscopy in general (e.g. documented acute diverticulitis, fulminant colitis and known or suspected perforation).
- Patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Standard Technique followed by Combination
Combination +followed by Standard Technique
Back-to-back tandem colonoscopies by the same endoscopist using an Olympus 190 colonoscope. The first colonoscopy will be performed without automated polyp detection software (standard technique) followed immediately by another colonoscopy with automated polyp detection software (combination technique).
