| [ Summary ] |
We assessed the clinical usefulness of narrow band imaging (NBI) magnification for colorectal neoplasia. Microvessel observation of vessel caliber and irregularities using NBI magnification is easy and useful in the optical diagnosis of histological atypia or invasion without using chromoendoscopy. |
