Computer Assisted Optical Assessment of Small Colorectal Polyps

NCT02522702 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 250

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to develop a computer program which is able to distinguish between adenomatous and non- adenomatous polyps on the basis of optical features of the polyps. Still images of polyps (\< 10 mm of size) will be collected during routine colonoscopy procedures. All polyps will be resected endoscopically so that histopathological diagnoses (gold standard) can be notified.

In the validation phase of the study a computer program will be established which aims to distinguish between adenomatous and non- adenomatous polyps on the basis of optical features derived from still images. The program will operated using the the random forest learning method. Afterwards, in the testing phase of the study, still images of 100 polyps (not used in the validation phase) will be presented to the computer program. The establishment of a well- functioning computer program is the primary aim of the study.

Conditions

  • Colonic Polyps

Interventions

OTHER

Photography of polyps, resection of polyps

Ther is no study specific intervention. Still images will be taken if polyps are found in the colon. Polyps will then be resected routinely.
