Interobserver Agreement in Using Magnifying Narrow Band Imaging System

Interobserver Agreement in Using Magnifying Narrow Band Imaging System

cancer is the second most common cancer in Ko-rea, but mortality due to gastric cancer is decreasing. This phenomenon is probably a result of the National Cancer Screening Program, which provides biennial endoscopic screening and facilitates early detection of gastric cancer that can be cured by endoscopic treatment or minimally invasive surgery. 1 During the endoscopic screening, precancerous ...

Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging for gastric heterotopic pancreas

Background and study aims  Heterotopic pancreas is a common subepithelial lesion in the stomach. However, its histological diagnosis is difficult when tissue samples are obtained with a conventional biopsy forceps. This study aimed to describe the magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) features of gastric heterotopic pancreas. Patients and methods  We retrospectively analyzed ...

Analysis of microvascular density in early gastric carcinoma using magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Intramucosal vascular density differs between differentiated and undifferentiated type gastric carcinomas. This study aimed to evaluate the microvascular density characteristics of these two types of carcinoma using magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI). PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 42 differentiated and 10 undifferentiated types were evaluated. Th...

Magnifying endoscopy findings in follicular lymphoma of the rectum using narrow band imaging.

Simplified Classification of Capillary Pattern in Barrett Esophagus Using Magnifying Endoscopy With Narrow Band Imaging

The classification of Barrett esophagus (BE) using magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) is not widely used in clinical settings because of its complexity. To establish a new simplified available classification using ME-NBI.We conducted a cross-sectional study in a single-referral center. One hundred eight consecutive patients with BE using ME-NBI and crystal violet (CV) chromo...
