New device aims to sharpen polyp measurements for trainee doctors
NCT ID NCT04858477
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device called Napoleon to help gastroenterology fellows measure colon polyps more accurately during colonoscopies. 46 patients aged 45 and older participated. The goal was to see if using the device improves measurement accuracy compared to just looking, which could lead to better follow-up recommendations.
