Assessment of colorectal polyp detection along the short-axis direction of the intestinal lumen during colonoscopic observation: a retrospective study in Japan [PDF]

Clinical Endoscopy
Background/Aims Colorectal polyp detection during colonoscopy is influenced by the lesion location, size, morphology, and histology. However, no studies have systematically assessed the difficulty of detection along the short axis of the intestinal lumen.
