Microwave gadget could spot hidden polyps during colonoscopy
NCT ID NCT05988645
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new microwave-based device, called MiWEndo, that is used during a standard colonoscopy to help doctors find polyps in the colon. About 50 people who already have a polyp in their rectum will take part. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can find more polyps than a regular colonoscopy alone.
