Autofluorescence endoscopy for the gastrointestinal tract
This review focuses on our basic study results and clinical experience of fluorescence endoscopy for the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Collagen, which fluoresces in the green wavelength range, is one of the major sources of tissue autofluorescence (AF) and AF imaging systems are now available. With their use, however, it is important to take into account tissue changes other than, or in addition...
متن کاملClinical Experience Using a Real Time Autofluorescence Endoscopy System in the Gastrointestinal Tract
Autofluorescence spectra of neoplastic tissues have been reported to be significantly different from those of normal tissues when excited by blue or violet light. From this concept, a light-induced autofluorescence endoscopic imaging system for gastrointestinal mucosa (LIFE-GI; Xillix, Canada and Olympus, Japan) has been newly developed and the clinical evaluation of the prototype system has be...
متن کاملAnesthesia Innovations for Endoscopy of Gastrointestinal Tract
Gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE) is a procedure for diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal tract abnormalities. This procedure requires some forms of anesthe‐ sia. The goal of procedural anesthesia is safe, effective control of pain and anxiety, as well as an appropriate degree of memory loss or reduced awareness. Generally, the majority of GIE procedures are performed by using topical ane...
متن کاملClinical Policy Title: Capsule Endoscopy for Visualizing the Gastrointestinal Tract
Arbor Health Plan considers the use of capsule endoscopy to be clinically proven as the effectiveness of its use has been established in peer reviewed professional literature for use in specific clinical circumstances. These clinical policies, along with other sources, such as plan benefits and state and federal laws and regulatory requirements, including any State or plan specific definition o...
متن کاملDo we underestimate capsule endoscopy in the upper gastrointestinal tract?
ing. If done early in the course of the work-up, CE shortens the time to diagnosis and spares a number of alternative investigations with lower diagnostic yield. Taken together this seems appealing to doctors. A somewhat puzzling fact is that, in the majority of studies done so far for established indications, in only a small proportion of patients does CE have a real impact on the clinical out...
