About this study

Lesions, polyps and other abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have a different composition compared to the normal mucose. The investigators plan to gather spectroscopic information from these features. Characterizing their unique spectrums, may help to enhance the detection and identification of these objects during endoscopy.

Being tested
An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, is added to the endoscopic examination
Medical subject headings
Colonic Neoplasms, Colonic Polyps, Intestinal Polyps

What participants receive

    Also called The brand of the optical fiber is not relevant

    An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, connected to a spectroscope, enables measuring the spectrum of objects "seen" by the endoscope
