398 cuffed colonoscopy with amplifeye improves polyp detection rate - a randomized multicenter study
Colonoscopy screening is proven to reduce mortality rates for colorectal cancer, which relies on early detection and removal of colonic polyps. Methods to improve polyp or adenoma detection have constantly been sought. AmplifEYE is a FDA-approved device with a row of flexible detection arms attached to the tip of colonoscope which can separate colonic folds during scope withdrawal and can improve polyp detection. Clinical data on this relatively new device especially in Chinese patients is lacking.
