Figure 1
(a, b, and c) Normal villous patterns. Visualization of normal duodenal mucosa at white light SE (a). Regular villi appear well represented, thick, with a finger-like appearance at NBI system and ME (b and c). (d, e, and f) Abnormal villous patterns. Partial villous atrophy view at SE (d); NBI-ME showing a low-density of villi which appear irregular, disoriented, and with an initial pattern of surface destruction (e and f). (g, h, and i) Absent villous patterns. Marked villous atrophy with NBI system and ME (g); the surface is flat (h), “foveolar-like,” with total villi absence and wide circles (i: black arrow).
