Fuji Intelligent Chromo Endoscopy and staining technique for the diagnosis of colon tumor

Computerized virtual chromoendoscopy versus indigo carmine chromoendoscopy combined with magnification for diagnosis of small colorectal lesions

“…It requires new training skills with a considerable learning curve, impairs the analysis of the capillary pattern and distorts the adjacent mucosal field [18][19][20][21]. Furthermore, magnifying imaging-equipped colonoscopes are not widely available in clinical practice, are more fragile, less manouverable and more expensive [22].…”

Endoscopic resection of unresectable polyps

“…The FICE technique shows the mucosal microstructure and blood capillary form. FICE is superior to ordinary colonoscopy for the diagnosing of pit pattern [21]. In a comparison of image acuity of magnifying FICE and chromoendoscopy, FICE was superior to ordinary colonoscopy for pit pattern diagnosis [21].…”

Bringing new endoscopic imaging technology into everyday practice: what is the role of professional GI societies? Polyp imaging as a template for moving endoscopic innovation forward to answer key clinical questions

“…Mauna Kea Technologies (Fort Washington, Penn) offers a probe-based confocal imaging system that can be used through the accessory channel of standard endoscopes. Fujinon (Wayne, NJ) colonoscopes include [11][12][13] Fujinon is the only company that markets push-button optical magnification in the United States. [11][12][13] Olympus (Tokyo, Japan; Center Valley, Penn) markets two systems worldwide, each with narrowband imaging (blue light illumination).…”
