Measure
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Probe
After consent, the endoscopist will perform a standard of care colonoscopy. If a polyp is found, then OCT will be used to image that polyp. Patients with polyps, regardless of number found, will have either one tubular adenoma (NICE type 2) imaged OR one hyperplastic polyp (NICE type 1) imaged. If no polyps are found, then one area of normal mucosa will be imaged. If on the rare chance a malignant appearing colonic tumor (NICE type 3) is found, this and no other polyps will be imaged with OCT.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During colonoscopy (Day 1)

Population: 4 participants were excluded due to absence of polyps (n=1), probe malfunction (n=1), and poor image quality (n=2).

Overall agreement (OCT probe yielding results consistent with clinical pathology biopsy results) as measured by Cohen's Kappa. Overall Cohen's Kappa is a statistical measure for assessing the reliability of agreement between the two results by taking into account the element of chance. Cohen's kappa can range from 0 to 1 with 1 indicating perfect agreement and 0 indicating an agreement equivalent to chance. Clinical pathology is the gold standard for diagnosis. Diagnosis from both OCT and clinical pathology will be assigned as normal mucosa, hyperplastic polyp, tubular adenoma, sessile serrated adenoma, or colorectal cancer.
