Mechanisms for simultaneously monitoring colonoscopic video quality and detecting polyps in colonoscopy are provided. In some embodiments, the mechanisms can include a quality monitoring system that uses a first trained classifier to monitor image frames from a colonoscopic video to determine which image ...
"The more polyps you have, the more frequent you need to have a colonoscopy," said Dr. Roshini Rajapaksa, a gastroenterologist at New York University Medical Center who was not involved in the exam. "But because they're small in size, it's not that worrisome even though he had five."...
Colon polyps usually do not cause symptoms, so persons with polyps do not know they have them until found during a colonoscopy (see below) or other testing. If precancerous polyps are detected and removed, many cancers can be prevented. Doctors who specialize in treatment of digestive diseases...
test) look for tiny traces of blood in your poop. Stool DNA tests check for gene changes. For any of these tests, you collect a poop sample at home and take it to your doctor’s office or send it to a lab. If the tests find problems, you’ll need to have a colonoscopy. ...
We validated the algorithm using three datasets: A: 1,338 images with 1,349 polyps; B: an open, public CVC-clinic database with 612 polyp images; and C: 7 colonoscopy videos with 26 polyps. To reduce the number of false positives in the video analysis, median filtering was applied. We...

Colonoscopy 3D Model Monitoring of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome People who have bluish black spots on their lips or in their mouth and/or have 2 or more polyps in their digestive tract or a family history of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome should have a blood test to determine whether they hav...
colonoscopy. Virtual colonoscopy is very good at finding polyps but not as good as colonoscopy; it can miss polyps less than one centimeter in size, although the need to identify these smaller polyps is debated since they infrequently are malignant. MRI has an advantage over CT because it does...
In patients at high risk for colonic neoplasia, colonoscopy was more sensitive and specific than air-contrast barium enema or computed tomographic colonography for detecting large colonic polyps.doi:10.1136/ebm.10.4.124Virender K. Sharma, MD
