Comparison of Narrowband Imaging with Autofluorescence Imaging for Endoscopic Visualization of Superficial Squamous Cell Carcinoma Lesions of the Esophagus
Figure 2
SCC in middle esophagus (mucosal invasion: carcinoma in situ; depressed type; 15 mm). (a) NBI endoscopy clearly revealed demarcated area brownish in color with NBI image visualization quality rated as excellent for delineating entire lesion margin circumference. (b) AFI endoscopy revealed demarcated area magenta in color with AFI image visualization quality rated as fair for delineating approximately one-half of lesion margin circumference as remaining portion of lesion margin appeared dim (white arrows).
