white light would; chromoendoscopy lets you better spot adenomas
because they show up as a different color than the mucosa around
them. But instead of using chemical dyes, you're achieving a similar
effect by filtering wavelengths of light. Adenomas emit different wave-
lengths than the mucosa around them, and these devices can differen-
tiate and display them.
• Wide-angle colonoscopes. The concept here is worthy. As
opposed to a forward-viewing colonoscope with a 140- to 170-degree
viewing angle, these multi-camera devices approach full 360-degree
views. Through either an add-on to a standard scope or with a fully-
equipped specially designed scope, a pair of side-facing cameras
complement the forward-viewing camera. The resulting images are
combined to provide a panoramic view of the mucosa.
When evaluating
wide-angle scopes,
however, keep in mind
that they might not
have the same resolu-
tion quality as conven-
tional HD scopes.
• Artificial intelli-
gence. Based on
machine learning, AI
has great potential as
a highlighting technol-
ogy to improve detec-
tion. Leveraging data

thousands of mucosal
images, an AI-enabled
