544 a randomised crossover trial of conventional versus virtual chromoendoscopy for colitis surveillance: dysplasia detection, feasibility and patient acceptability (convince)

Colitis is associated with an increased lifetime risk of colorectal cancer. Chromoendoscopy (CE) is the current recommended surveillance technique. CE is time-consuming, costly and requires considerable expertise accounting for its limited uptake. Virtual CE (VCE) by Fujinon Intelligent Colour Enhancement ™ digitally reconstructs mucosal images in real-time, without the technical challenges of CE. Furthermore, the current literature provides limited information on patient experience (PE); imperative to adherence to surveillance programmes.
