Adenoma Detection Rate

As endoscopists improve their adenoma detection rates, the rate of interval colorectal cancer decreases, according to research published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

A real-time colonoscopy quality improvement system known as ENDOANGEL helped improve adenoma detection, according to study results.

A computer-aided colonoscopy system helped detect adenomas that were initially missed by the endoscopist, according to study results.

The Endocuff Vision endoscopy device achieved a higher adenoma detection rate and missed fewer adenomas than cap-assisted endoscopy, according to study results.

Removing polyps that are unintentionally located during the insertion phase rather than waiting until withdrawal helped reduce the number of missed polyps and shortened the total procedure time, according to study results.

SAN ANTONIO — Performing colonoscopies in a room with ambient light could improve the decrease in adenoma detection rate that generally occurs over the course of the beginning to the end of the day, according to study results presented at the American College of Gastroenterology Annual Meeting.
