A New Spectrophotometer for Measuring the Spectral Reflectance of Gastric Mucous Membrane

Diagnosis of endoscopic Barrett’s esophagus by transnasal flexible spectral imaging color enhancement

“…The technology of the FICE system was invented by Miyake et al [17][18][19][20] and developed with the aim of enhancing the capillary pattern and the pit patterns in endoscopic images. The Japanese society of spectral imaging for endoscopy recommended naming this system 'flexible spectral imaging color enhancement' in June 2008.…”

Therapeutic and Diagnostic Approaches in Colonoscopy

“…The NICE classification with or without magnification is considered valid in the USA, Europe, and Japan for differentiating neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyps [33]. Regarding of IEE-ME techniques, there have been many studies on both NBI-ME and FICE-ME [12,13,17,23,[34][35][36]. These studies have reported accuracy of 93.…”

“…FICE was formerly known as Fuji Intelligent Color Endoscopy, but this definition has recently changed. FICE depends on optical filters and spectral-estimation technology to reconstruct images at different wavelengths based on WL images [17,18]. The suitable RGB wavelength settings and contrast levels for FICE to evaluate colorectal polyps are 540 (1) nm, 460 (4) nm, and 460 (4) nm, respectively [19,20].…”

Objective evaluation of visibility in virtual chromoendoscopy for esophageal squamous carcinoma using a color difference formula

“…FICE is an imaging enhancement system based on the technique of "spectrum estimation," which was developed by the Research Center for Frontier Medical Engineering, Chiba University. 6 Use of this approach is becoming increasingly common. FICE involves irradiation of a subject with white light and taking of images using a charge-coupled device ͑CCD͒ camera in a regular endoscopic system.…”
