Comparing light vs dye spray for colon polyp detection
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two methods used during colonoscopy to help find polyps in the colon. It tests whether a special light technique (linked-color imaging) or a dye spray (indigo carmine) works better for spotting adenomas, which are growths that can turn into cancer. If you are at higher risk for colorectal adenomas, this trial may help improve detection.

This study tests two new imaging technologies used during a colonoscopy to better detect and describe growths (polyps) in the colon. This may help doctors find and remove pre-cancerous polyps more accurately during the same procedure.
This study tests a new device that helps doctors see polyps during a colonoscopy. It may help find more polyps early, which could prevent cancer.
This trial compares two ways of looking at the inside of the colon during a follow-up colonoscopy: standard 2D imaging versus a newer 3D view. The goal is to see if the 3D method helps doctors find more polyps (small growths that can turn into cancer) so they can remove them earlier.
This trial tests whether a computer-aided detection (CAD) system helps doctors find more advanced polyps during screening colonoscopies, potentially reducing the risk of these polyps turning into cancer over three years. If you are undergoing a screening colonoscopy, this study may help improve early detection and prevention.
This study compares two ways to examine your colon during a surveillance colonoscopy for IBD: a virtual method using standard light and a dye-based method that sprays a blue dye to highlight abnormal areas. The goal is to see which method is better at finding precancerous changes to help prevent colon cancer.
This trial tests a new capsule that you swallow to take pictures of your colon. It may help find polyps (growths that can turn into cancer) as well as a standard colonoscopy does.
