Gastroscopy with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is a cutting-edge endoscopic technique employed at GastroExperts to augment the traditional white-light endoscopy. NBI offers a magnified view of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract’s mucosal lining, enhancing the detection and characterization of abnormalities. This advanced technology empowers our gastroenterologists with a more precise diagnostic tool for conditions like:
NBI can reveal the characteristic mucosal patterns associated with H. pylori, aiding in diagnosis and treatment decisions.
NBI facilitates detecting and evaluating EGC by highlighting specific vascular patterns and surface irregularities.
NBI helps identify subtle changes in the mucosal surface and vasculature that are potentially indicative of precancerous lesions like dysplasia and metaplasia.
NBI can help differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis based on the visualized mucosal features.
NBI Allows For A More Detailed Examination Of The GI Tract, Leading To More Accurate Diagnoses For Various Conditions.
NBI Facilitates Better Differentiation Between Benign And Malignant Lesions, Potentially Reducing Unnecessary Biopsies.
NBI Enables More Targeted Biopsies, With A Clearer View Of Suspicious Areas, Improving Diagnostic Yield And Minimizing Patient Discomfort.
NBI's Ability To Detect Subtle Precancerous Changes Allows For Earlier Intervention And Potentially Improves Patient Outcomes.
Regular endoscopy uses white light to visualize the GI tract. NBI employs specific light filters to enhance the view of mucosal details and blood vessels, providing a more magnified and detailed examination.
Preparing for a gastroscopy with NBI is similar to preparing for a standard gastroscopy. You will likely receive instructions regarding fasting beforehand.
NBI is generally considered a safe procedure. The risks associated with gastroscopy, such as bleeding or perforation, are minimal and comparable to a standard endoscopy.
Depending on the findings during the endoscopy, your gastroenterologist may recommend additional tests like biopsies or follow-up endoscopies.
At GastroExperts, we are committed to providing the latest diagnostic and treatment modalities for GI conditions. NBI gastroscopy is a valuable tool in our armamentarium, allowing for a more precise and efficient evaluation of your digestive health. If you have any concerns about your GI health, schedule an appointment with our experienced gastroenterologists to discuss if NBI gastroscopy is right for you.
