Core Tip |
Endocytoscopic narrow-band imaging (EC-NBI) is a new technique, in which ultramagnified EC images are used in combination with NBI. The EC-NBI finding associated with the capillaries showed strong correlations with the presence of histological inflammation and the ability to distinguish between inactive and active ulcerative colitis. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the EC-NBI findings for diagnosing acute inflammation were 84.0%, 100%, 87.1%, 100% and 92.3%, respectively. Compared with conventional endoscopy, EC-NBI was superior in diagnostic specificity, negative predictive value, and accuracy.
