Protective enclosure for performing gastrointestinal endoscopy

Ethical aspect in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Iran

    Abstract   Background: Gastroenterologists are required to obtain consent before undertaking   any endoscopic examination. Published data indicate that in practice there are many deficiencies in this process. The aim of this survey was to determine the quality of information given to patients before the endoscopic procedures in Iran .   Methods: A structured questionnaire about patient's in...

Enclosure Sphere Based Cell Visibility for Virtual Endoscopy

Virtual Endoscopy is an interactive exploration inside human organs to detect polyps by combining medical imaging and computer graphics technologies. In order to realize rendering acceleration, we present a novel two-steps visibility algorithm, Enclosure Sphere Based Cell Visibility (ESBCV), which performs visibility computation between cells assisted by Z-buffer in preprocessing and eye-to-cel...

Advanced technologies for gastrointestinal endoscopy.

The gastrointestinal tract is home to some of the most deadly human diseases. Exacerbating the problem is the difficulty of accessing it for diagnosis or intervention and the concomitant patient discomfort. Flexible endoscopy has established itself as the method of choice and its diagnostic accuracy is high, but there remain technical limitations in modern scopes, and the procedure is poorly to...

Sedation Regimens for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Sedation allows patients to tolerate unpleasant endoscopic procedures by relieving anxiety, discomfort, or pain. It also reduces a patient's risk of physical injury during endoscopic procedures, while providing the endoscopist with an adequate setting for a detailed examination. Sedation is therefore considered by many endoscopists to be an essential component of gastrointestinal endoscopy. End...
