ID: 3520738 OPTICAL DIAGNOSIS OF COLORECTAL POLYPS USING NOVEL BLUE LIGHT IMAGING (BLI) CLASSIFICATION AMONG TRAINEE ENDOSCOPISTS

Abstract

Background and study aims: Blue Light Imaging (BLI) has been shown to improve the characterization of colorectal polyps. Recently the BLI Adenoma Serrated International Classification (BASIC) system to diagnose adenomatous polyps was validated among international endoscopy experts with high accuracy and interobserver agreement. We aimed to determine if this technology could be taught to endoscopy trainees via an e-learning module while maintaining high accuracy and interobserver agreement.
