Core Tip	The role of narrow band imaging for polyp detection is controversial. We studied 3 groups of 100 patients each, undergoing tandem colonoscopy by (1) white light followed by narrow band imaging; (2) narrow band followed by white light; and (3) white light followed by white light. Detection rate for polyps with white light used first was similar irrespective of the light used afterwards. Miss rate of polyps and adenomas was higher when narrow band imaging was used first (29.3% and 30.3%, respectively; P < 0.05). Our study suggests that the tandem nature of colonoscopy rather than the optical techniques, detects missing pathology.
