Nice Classification For Optical Diagnosis Of Colonic Lesions Is Equally Applicable When Using Blue Laser Imaging

Optical diagnosis of colonic polyps offers the potential for significant improvements in colonoscopy efficiency and cost saving. BLI is a new, push button, image enhancement endoscopy technology using two laser light sources to accentuate mucosal surface and vascular pattern of polyps. It’s visual appearance is similar to NBI. This study assessed whether the validated NICE classification system for colonic polyps (NBI) was applicable for BLI images of polyps.
