Jefferson Physician Featured in a CBS 3 Story on the Third Eye Retroscope
Dr. Anthony Infantolino of the Jefferson Digestive Disease Institute was featured in a Channel 3 CBS story on the Third Eye Retroscope. This new technology allows doctors to see behind the many folds and flexures of the colon during a colonoscopy.
"There are blind spots in the colon. This has been shown to pick up polyps that are hidden on the backside of the folds. This is like having a rear-view mirror," said Dr. Infantolino.
With this new device, doctors will be able to find an additional 10 percent of polyps that would have otherwise gone undetected.
