Performance of a computer-aided diagnosis system in diagnosing early gastric cancer using magnifying endoscopy videos with narrow-band imaging
Post written by Yusuke Horiuchi, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Cancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. The performance of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) using a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system in diagnosing early gastric cancer (EGC) is unclear. Here, the focus of our study is to clarify the differences in the diagnostic performance …

Clinical impact of narrow-band imaging magnifying endoscopic classification of colorectal tumors
Post written by Shinji Tanaka, MD, PhD, from Endoscopy and Medicine, Graduate School of Biomedical & Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, Japan. By JNET classification using magnifying observation, it will be possible to characterize the lesions of NICE Type 2 more in detail. NICE Type 2 includes various lesion such as dysplasia, superficial submucosal carcinoma, and …
Mating Ancylostoma Duodenale under Magnifying Endoscopy
Ming-Yan Cai, MD, from the Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, presents this video case. During a regular EGD exam, using a magnifying scope with narrow-band imaging (NBI) function, we observed a very interesting pattern of Ancylostoma duodenale. A male worm was coiled around a female one and the …
