Narrow band imaging (NBI) during medical thoracoscopy: first impressions

BACKGROUND This is the first ever evaluation of narrow band imaging (NBI), an innovative endoscopic imaging procedure, for the visualisation of pleural processes. METHODS The pleural cavity was examined in 26 patients with pleural effusions using both white light and narrow band imaging during thoracoscopy under local anaesthesia. RESULTS In the great majority of the patients narrow band im...

Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) — Endoscopic Method for Detection of Head and Neck Cancer

Flexible hysteroscopy with narrow band imaging (NBI) for endoscopic diagnosis of malignant endometrial lesions.

Narrow band imaging (NBI) for detection of blood vessels and microstructures on the mucosal surface is used in gastrointestinal endoscopy since it can improve qualitative diagnosis and detection of lesion. However, there are no studies on flexible hysteroscopy using NBI. We performed flexible hysteroscopy with NBI for outpatients to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of endoscopic diag...

The accuracy of magnifying narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) in distinguishing between cancerous and noncancerous gastric lesions

BACKGROUND Previous clinical trials have demonstrated the diagnostic accuracy of magnifying narrow-band (ME-NBI) for gastric cancerous lesions, but the results are inconsistent. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to investigate the accuracy of ME-NBI in distinguishing between cancerous and noncancerous gastric lesions. METHODS Systematic literature searches were conducted until October 2016...
