What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting an observational study to gather images and data from lesions found during diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy procedures. These images, including photos and videos captured in various lighting techniques, will be linked with lesion details such as size, location, and histology results. The study aims to build a comprehensive database to improve endoscopic techniques, ensure quality, and support education and research in endoscopic procedures. The study involves collecting digital video and image material from standard endoscopic procedures performed on adult patients at UZ Gent. Images may be taken using white light or enhanced imaging methods like narrow-band imaging and dye-based techniques. The database will include procedural data and patient demographics, with recordings made under strict privacy regulations. The footage may also include non-identifiable room views to demonstrate procedural techniques for educational purposes. Participants will undergo their usual endoscopic care while images and videos are recorded during the procedures. The collected data will be used to monitor procedure outcomes, identify trends, and enhance training for healthcare professionals. The main outcome is the creation of a large digital database of endoscopic images, videos, and related data collected prospectively from endoscopic procedures over the study period ending in October 2025.
