18. June 2019
diagnosis

28. May 2019
diagnosis

7. May 2019
diagnosis

30. April 2019
diagnosis
Small early gastric cancer visualized with LCI. The so called “red-in-purple” sign is always suspicious for neoplasia.
23. April 2019
diagnosis
Inflammatory colon polyps are common. As identification of dysplasia in those lesions is difficult, endoscopic resection should be performed.
16. April 2019
diagnosis
BLI highlights the mucosal surface and vascular pattern morphology. In combination with an optical zoom of 135-fold, optical diagnosis of a tubular adenoma can be easily achieved.
9. April 2019
diagnosis

2. April 2019
diagnosis

26. March 2019
diagnosis
