Impact of a computer-based teaching module on characterization of diminutive colon polyps by using narrow-band imaging by non-experts in academic and community practice: a video-based study

ASGE Technology Committee systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the ASGE PIVI thresholds for adopting real-time endoscopic assessment of the histology of diminutive colorectal polyps

“…Studies indicate that accurate interpretation of optical biopsies follows a learning curve, and this learning curve can be achieved rapidly in both academic and community practice settings. [54][55][56][57][58][59] This ASGE Technology Committee systematic review and meta-analysis therefore confirms that the thresholds established by the ASGE PIVI for the real-time endoscopic assessment of the histology of diminutive polyps have been met, at least for NBI, with endoscopists who are experts in using these advanced imaging technologies and when assessments are made with high confidence. The ASGE Technology Committee therefore endorses the use of NBI for both the "diagnose-and-leave" strategy for diminutive rectosigmoid hyperplastic polyps and the "resect-and-discard" strategy for diminutive adenomatous polyps by endoscopists trained in using this technology for polyp characterization, making assessments with high confidence.…”

Randomized controlled trial of self-directed versus in-classroom teaching of narrow-band imaging for diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus–associated neoplasia

“…These results suggest that learning to diagnose BE-associated dysplasia by using NBI may be different from learning to diagnose colon polyps by using NBI because prior studies have shown that using NBI for colon polyps can be taught easily. 9,14,18,19 Our study had some limitations. We used endoscopy images as opposed to testing during live endoscopy.…”

Methods to become a high performer in characterization of colorectal polyp histology

“…Rastogi et.al [45] assessed the impact of a computer-based teaching module on the accuracy of predicting polyp histology by non-experts in an academic center and community practice. This computer based teaching module was an audiovisual M A N U S C R I P T…”
