Value of Detecting More Colon Polyps Uncertain

“A good gastroenterologist can use a regular scope, high definition or not, and do a very good screening test,” Dr. Giday said.

Dr. DeMarco's study was funded by the company that makes the Third Eye Retroscope, Avantis Medical Systems. Dr. Leufkens' study was also funded by Avantis, and one of Dr. Leufkens' associates is on the company's advisory board. The other physicians said they had no conflicts of interest related to these topics.

The findings do not support routine use of high-definition chromocolonoscopy for screening.
