Narrow band imaging technique

Detecting early oral cancer: narrowband imaging system observation of the oral mucosa microvasculature

“…Detection of cancer at an earlier stage is important because most advanced lesions require extensive surgical resection 17 . Precise observation of the colour variation and the fine structural pattern of the mucosa is required to diagnose possible malignancy 4,14 .…”

“…Detection of carcinoma at an earlier stage is important because most advanced lesions require extensive surgical resection [6]. Precise observation of color variations and structural patterns of the mucosa are required to diagnose possible malignancies [1,11]. It is common to use intravital staining such as toluidine blue and iodine solution [12], cytological diagnosis, and organizational diagnosis for OSCC screening examinations.…”

“…Narrow band imaging (NBI) system is a novel endoscopic method [1]. This technology was developed by the Division of Endoscopy and Gastrointestinal Oncology, National Cancer Center Hospital East and Olympus Medical Systems in 2003 [2].…”

“…Multispectral images can also be obtained by changing the light source spectrum, as in narrow-band imaging [24]; however, the camera or object may be displaced while multiple images are being captured.
