| [ Summary ] | Recent technological advances and development of innovative endoscopic equipment have resulted in improved image quality for visualization of clearer endoscopic images (both magnification and nonmagnification views). However, differences in the structural and color enhancement settings used during imaging can lead to significant differences even for the same lesion. Therefore, it is important to ensure that each function setting is appropriate for optimal endoscopic visualization of lesions to accurately evaluate the surface and vascular structures. In this article, we describe the standard endoscopic setting modes for lower gastrointestinal endoscopy performed at our department. Additionally, we have described how to capture images using the differences between the standard endoscopic setting modes and how to set the structure- and color-enhancement functions for color spraying and narrowband image magnification. |
