Background Endocytoscopy (EC) is a nuclei and micro-vessels visualization in real-time and
can facilitate" optical biopsy" and" virtual histology" of colorectal lesions. This study aimed to …

Background and study aims Large adenomas are sometimes misidentified as cancers
during colonoscopy and are surgically removed. To address this overtreatment, we …

Endocytoscopy (EC) is now one of the valuable technologies in diagnosing colorectal
tumors. Providing ultra-high-resolution white light images (520×), endocytoscopy attains the …

Purpose Real-time characterization of colorectal lesions during colonoscopy is important for
reducing medical costs, given that the need for a pathological diagnosis can be omitted if the …

Background & Aims Precise optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps could improve the cost-
effectiveness of colonoscopy and reduce polypectomy-related complications. However, it is …

Background and Aims Precise optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps could improve the cost-

Background and study aims Invasive cancer carries the risk of metastasis, and therefore, the
ability to distinguish between invasive cancerous lesions and less-aggressive lesions is …

Methods EC-CAD (EB-01, prototype from Cybernet Corp. Tokyo) was developed using
endoscopic pictures as learning material that were taken in five Japanese institutions …

Background Endocytoscopy enables in vivo observation of nuclei at 450× magnification
during GI endoscopy, thus allowing precise prediction of lesion pathology. However …

Endocytoscopy provides an in-vivo visualization of nuclei and micro-vessels at the cellular
level in real-time, facilitating so-called “optical biopsy” or “virtual histology” of colorectal …
