Core Tip	Accurately diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) diseases mainly relies on imaging the GI tract. With the latest techniques, one can explore the detailed morphology, biomechanical properties, function, and pathology of the GI tract. Technological advancements are happening rapidly, and there is enormous innovation potential. The main developing trends include faster image acquisition, higher resolution, increased computer power, and improved software for post-processing. Additionally, there is a trend towards developing and refining "new sub-modalities" based on traditional methods and fusing different modalities into new multimodal concepts. Overall, the future of GI imaging looks promising and will significantly benefit clinical and research studies of GI diseases.
