Aims Current guidelines recommend resection and histopathological analyses of all colorectal polyps. Real-time optical diagnosis can obviate non-neoplastic polyp (“diagnose-and-leave-behind”) diminutive polyps (“predict-resect-and-discard”) reducing healthcare cost burden. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy computer-aided using CADEYE (Fujifilm, Germany) in real-time characterization compared endoscopic with histopathology as gold-standard.
