Low-magnification narrow-band imaging for small gastric neoplasm detection on screening endoscopy
Microsurface patterns of the gastric mucosa can be observed using magnifying narrow-band imaging (M-NBI). However, the efficacy of M-NBI at low-magnification (LM-NBI) screening for detecting small gastric neoplasms is unclear.Endoscopic submucosal dissection of early-stage rectal cancer using full-time red dichromatic imaging to minimize and avoid significant bleeding
Management of bleeding during endoscopic resections (and even more so in endoscopic submucosal dissection [ESD]) is a critical aspect of the procedure. The low rectum has a higher risk of bleeding because of a rich venous plexus; this can increase procedure time compared with the proximal rectum.1 Red dichromatic imaging (RDI), a novel image-enhanced endoscopy technology, has been reported to improve the visibility of deep vessels and bleeding points compared with white-light imaging (WLI).2-4 WLI can be switched to RDI instantly with the press of a single button on the endoscope.Acetic acid spray for better delineation of recurrent sessile serrated adenoma in the colon
Sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) have a high risk of incomplete endoscopic resection.1 The benefit of using acetic acid spray has been reported for SSLs in the colon.2,3 Our previous experience has demonstrated that acetic acid spray, along with indigo carmine, is of substantial benefit for the delineation of SSLs.2 Similarly, the use of acetic acid for a single case of sessile serrated polyposis syndrome was reported and showed clinical usefulness.3
