Can 3D vision spot hidden polyps better than standard colonoscopy?
NCT ID NCT06924489
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a 3D imaging device used during colonoscopy helps doctors find high-risk adenomas—polyps that could turn into cancer—better than the usual 2D view. Adults aged 18-75 scheduled for a diagnostic colonoscopy will be randomly assigned to either a 2D or 3D scope. The study compares how often each method detects high-risk adenomas and tracks any side effects for 30 days afterward.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 3D imaging device used during colonoscopy
- What this could lead to
- If 3D imaging proves better at spotting high-risk adenomas, it could lead to more accurate colon cancer screening and fewer missed polyps.
- What could go wrong
- The benefit may be small or not clinically significant, and 3D devices could have technical limitations or higher costs. Adverse events during colonoscopy are possible but generally rare.
