Linked color imaging improves endoscopic diagnosis of active Helicobacter pylori infection

Endoscopy International Open, 2016
Background and study aims: Linked color imaging (LCI) is a new image-enhanced endoscopy technique using a laser light source to enhance slight differences in mucosal color. The aim of this study was to compare the usefulness of LCI and conventional white

Beyond Standard Image-enhanced Endoscopy Confocal Endomicroscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2014
Endomicroscopy is a new imaging tool for gastrointestinal endoscopy. In vivo histology becomes possible at subcellular resolution during ongoing colonoscopy. Panchromoendoscopy with targeted biopsies has become the method of choice for surveillance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Endomicroscopy can be added after chromoendoscopy to clarify
