| Core Tip |
Endoscopic-histological correlations in ulcerative colitis were previously inconsistent because conventional white-light endoscopy often missed subtle mucosal and vascular changes, leading to underestimation of patchy inflammation. Discrepancies also arose from sampling variability, patchy healing, unstandardized protocols, and inconsistent scoring systems. Advanced endoscopic technologies now enhance visualization of mucosal and vascular features, allowing more accurate assessment of disease activity that aligns closely with histology and supports improved long-term outcomes. These advances are driving the field of precision endoscopy in ulcerative colitis, with the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and monitoring of treatment response. |
