3D imaging during colonoscopy to find high-risk adenomas
Official title: Effect of 3-Dimensional Imaging Device on Advanced Adenoma Detection During Colonoscopy: A Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases · NCT06924489 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether a 3D imaging device used during colonoscopy helps identify patients with high-risk adenomas better than standard 2D imaging.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18-75 undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy without a history of inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, polyposis syndromes, or prior adenoma excision.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, prior polyposis syndromes, or recent adenoma removal may not experience benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Participants undergo colonoscopy with either a 3D imaging device or the standard 2D imaging device after bowel cleansing, and are followed for up to 30 days to monitor adverse events. The study compares the 3D approach to the traditional method to see if it improves detection of high-risk adenomas. Safety and feasibility of 3D imaging during colonoscopy are also evaluated. Eligible adults are undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy without prior colorectal disease or certain polyposis conditions. The trial is conducted at Xijing Hospital with collaboration from Beijing Friendship Hospital and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, 3D imaging could improve detection of high-risk adenomas and influence follow-up planning.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in imaging-assisted endoscopy suggest potential benefits, but results vary and this study adds comparative 3D data.
