Maximizing Detection During Colonoscopy
The fundamental purpose of most colonoscopies is prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC), and CRC prevention starts with high-level detection. Every colonoscopist should measure and strive for the highest level of detection. The essentials of high-level detection are detailed knowledge of the appearance of subtle precancerous lesions combined with excellent bowel preparation, high definition colonoscopy, and measurement and reporting of adenoma detection rate. These fundamentals must be combined with a highly effective and compulsive basic examination technique. This article reviews new recommendations on performance of high-quality colonoscopy, obstacles to detection, and tools and techniques to help improve visualization and lesion detection.

Advancements in GI Evaluation: Narrow Band Imaging™ Technology and the EVIS X1™ Endoscopy System
Real-time endoscopic evaluation of the GI tract has provided a broad array of often lifesaving interventions, including the early detection of malignancy. Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI™) technology has proved versatile for the prediction of several types of pathology relative to endoscopic evaluation with standard high-definition white light endoscopy. This article reviews the applications of NBI technology in the detection, diagnosis, and evaluation of pathology in the GI tract, and how NBI technology is used alongside various technologies within the EVIS EXERA™ III endoscopy system and the recently introduced EVIS X1™ endoscopy system by Olympus®.
