| [ Summary ] | Endocytoscopy using Endocyto (Endocyto; CFH290ECI, Olympus, Tokyo), a brand-new endoscope equipped with a microscopic lens at the tip, allows visualization of cellular lumens, nuclei, and vessels with 520-fold magnification power. Endocyto's cellular level observation allows additional diagnostic benefit to magnifying endoscopy-based diagnosis and contributes to increasing the confidence level of diagnosis. This review article focuses on Endocyto, including its specification, how-to-use, and diagnostic capability. In addition, we introduce a novel artificial intelligence system called EndoBRAIN-EYE, which is designed to assist endocytoscopic diagnosis of colorectal cancer, and has secured regulatory approval on 15 July 2020. | |
