A randomised tandem colonoscopy trial of narrow band imaging versus white light examination to compare neoplasia miss rates.
Gut. 2008; (10): 1406-12
Colonoscopy, the "gold standard" screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC), has known diagnostic limitations. Advances in endoscope technology have focused on improving mucosal visualisation. In addition to increased angle of view and resolution features, recent colonoscopes have non-white-light optics, such as narrow band imaging (NBI), to enhance image contrast. We aimed to study the neoplasia diagnostic characteristics of NBI, by comparing the neoplasm miss rate when the colonoscopy was performed under NBI versus white light (WL).
