TLDR
The results of clinical tests in colonoscopy and esophagoscopy indicated that NBI will be useful as a supporting method for observation of the endoscopic findings of early cancer.Abstract:
This study was performed to examine the usefulness of medical endoscopic imaging utilizing narrow-band illumination. The contrast between the vascular pattern and the adjacent mucosa of the underside of the human tongue was measured using five narrow-band illuminations and three broadband illuminations. The results demon- strate that the pathological features of a vascular pattern are depen- dent on the center wavelength and the bandwidth of illumination. By utilizing narrow-band illumination of 415630 nm, the contrast of the capillary pattern in the superficial layer was markedly improved. This is an important benefit that is difficult to obtain with ordinary broad- band illumination. The appearances of capillary patterns on color im- ages were evaluated for three sets of filters. The narrow, band imaging (NBI) filter set (415630 nm, 445630 nm, 500630 nm) was selected to achieve the preferred appearance of the vascular patterns for clini- cal tests. The results of clinical tests in colonoscopy and esophagos- copy indicated that NBI will be useful as a supporting method for observation of the endoscopic findings of early cancer. © 2004 Society ofread more

TL;DR: NBI could be the standard examination for the early detection of superficial cancer in the H&N region and the esophagus between conventional white light imaging and NBI in high-risk patients.

TL;DR: A specific heptapeptide sequence, VRPMPLQ, is identified, synthesized, conjugated with fluorescein and tested in patients undergoing colonoscopy and represents a promising diagnostic imaging approach for the early detection of colorectal cancer and potentially of other epithelial malignancies.

TL;DR: NBI is a novel diagnostic tool with a high degree of accuracy for the detection of metaplastic and dysplastic tissue within the BE segment and was unable to distinguish areas of IM from those with LGD.

Detection and classification of the mucosal and vascular patterns (mucosal morphology) in Barrett's esophagus by using narrow band imaging
TL;DR: NBI with magnification reveals the mucosal morphology characteristics of nondysplastic BE and HGIN, without the need for staining and has a relatively high diagnostic value for HGIN when used for targeted detailed examination of areas of interest.

TL;DR: The long-term risk of colorectal cancer after rigid-instrument sigmoidoscopy and polypectomy in 1618 patients with rectosigmoid adenomas who did not undergo surveillance was assessed, finding that surveillance may not be of value because the risk of cancer is so low.
