Sa1945 VIRTUAL CHROMOENDOSCOPY WITH OPTICAL ENHANCEMENT FOR DETECTION OF DYSPLASIA IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE - A PROSPECTIVE TANDEM COLONOSCOPY STUDY.

Dye-based chromoendoscopy (DBC) is the current gold standard for dysplasia surveillance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). However, routine uptake of DBC is limited by its labour intensive nature. Virtual chromoendoscopy may offer a potential alternative. Optical enhancement (OE) is a novel technology that combines the ability to analyze microvascular and pit patterns using band limited light in 2 modes, OE1 and OE2. Enhanced examination of the mucosal pit pattern and surface vessels may increase the ability to detect dysplastic lesions.
