Citation Picot J, Rose M, Cooper K, Pickett K, Lord J, Harris P, Whyte S, Böhning D & Shepherd J. Virtual chromoendoscopy for the real-time assessment of colorectal polyps in vivo: a systematic review and economic evaluation. Health Technology Assessment 2017; 21(79) Authors' objectives To assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the VCE technologies narrow-band imaging (NBI), flexible spectral imaging colour enhancement (FICE) and i-scan for the characterisation and management of diminutive (≤ 5 mm) colorectal polyps using high-definition (HD) systems without magnification. Authors' conclusions VCE technologies, using HD systems without magnification, could potentially be used for the real-time assessment of diminutive colorectal polyps, if endoscopists have adequate experience and training. Indexing Status Subject indexing assigned by CRD MeSH Colonic Polyps; Cost-Benefit Analysis; Humans; Intestinal Polyps Language Published English Country of organisation England English summary An English language summary is available.
