The assistance of an automatic quality control system improves adenoma detection rates among colonoscopists classified as ...

Also, a full colonoscopy may not be necessary if a sigmoidoscopy does not reveal polyps or if they are only within a small area. Learn how to prepare for a colonoscopy. This X-ray procedure uses a ...

Detection of polyps by colonoscopy is commonly performed during slow withdrawal of the colonoscope, after its rapid insertion. The authors of a new study found that considerably more polyps were ...

BACKGROUND: The carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer is well understood. Adenomas are the precursor lesions in about 70% of cases, highlighting the importance of screening programs. AIMS: The aim of ...

On index colonoscopy, performed for the evaluation of rectal bleeding, multiple proximal sessile serrated polyps were identified meeting diagnostic criteria for serrated polyposis syndrome. Family ...

For example, if your mom was diagnosed with colon cancer at 44, you should get your first colonoscopy at 34. If your parents or siblings had large polyps, you should also be screened at 40, Ness said.

Colon polyps, which are tiny growths of extra tissue that form on the lining of the colon, are the precursors of colon cancer. Colonoscopy is an endoscopic examination of the lining of the large bowel ...

This research aims to integrate multiple deep learning algorithms and develop a system (DeFrame) that can be used to accurately detect intestinal polyps in real time during clinical endoscopy. Methods ...

Because optical colonoscopies depend on the direct visualization of dysplastic tissue, lesions must reach a certain size and have an atypical appearance to be detected during the endoscopy procedure.
