Summary

Lesions, polyps and other abnormalities in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have a different composition compared to the normal mucose. The investigators plan to gather spectroscopic information from these features. Characterizing their unique spectrums, may help to enhance the detection and identification of these objects during endoscopy.

Conditions

• Colon Carcinoma
• Colonic Polyps
• Intestinal Polyps

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, is added to the endoscopic examination	An optical fiber, inside the work channel of an endoscope, connected to a spectroscope, enables measuring the spectrum of objects "seen" by the endoscope
