The colon OFDI catheter will be used in conjunction with a sigmoidoscope. If a sigmoid polyp is identified, the colonoscope will be removed and a sigmoidoscope inserted. The colon OFDI catheter will be advanced through the sigmoidoscope accessory port and positioned adjacent to the colon wall. Imaging will be performed with the OFDI system across the polyp's surface and the base/stalk if pedunculated. The investigators anticipate that on average the investigators will utilize 4 helical scans per polyp. Each of the scans will take less than 30 seconds.
