Scientific title
Study objectivesDoes a new colonoscopic viewing technique called narrow band imaging (NBI) help doctors detect more patients with at least one pre-cancerous polyp (adenoma) than conventional colonoscopy using white light alone?
The study is to determine if narrow band imaging is better for detecting flat polyps than conventional diagnosis. A high detection rate of flat polyps would indicate that this type of surveillance should be used in the national cancer screening programme.
