Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: High Definition NBI ColonoscopyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Use of high definition narrow band imaging colonoscopy during examination for polyp detection. The same intervention is used on both arms: the Olympus Colonoscope CFHQ190AL, a technically improved colonoscope with close focus high definition narrow band imaging.
Group II: High Definition White Light ColonoscopyPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Use of high definition white light colonoscopy during examination for polyp detection. The same intervention is used on both arms: the Olympus Colonoscope CFHQ190AL, a technically improved colonoscope with close focus high definition narrow band imaging.
