| Core Tip |
Intramucosal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) ≤ 2 cm in diameter, for which endoscopic submucosal dissection is indicated, is very difficult to identify by white-light imaging (WLI) endoscopy. However, little is known regarding non-magnifying narrow-band imaging (NM-NBI) findings of early SRC. The strength and shape of the SRCs by NM-NBI and WLI were assessed with Image J. NM-NBI findings of SRC showed a clearly isolated whitish area amid the brown color of the surrounding normal mucosa. The NBI index, which indicates the potency of NBI for visualizing SRC, was significantly higher than the WLI index (P = 0.001). |
