Abstract

Background/objective: Several studies have shown that NBI can predict the colorectal polyp histology with moderate to high accuracy. Most of them were conducted by highly experienced endoscopists at academic centers by using high magnification colonoscopes. We evaluated the accuracy of standard definition low magnification NBI in predicting the real time histology of colorectal polyps when used by inexperienced endoscopists and whether it can meet the thresholds recently defined for discard, resect and discard strategies of diminutive polyps by ASGE.
