Colonoscopy with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is a state-of-the-art advancement offered at GastroExperts to augment the effectiveness of traditional colonoscopy. NBI goes beyond standard white-light visualization by providing a high-definition view of the colon’s mucosal lining. This enhanced clarity allows our gastroenterologists to detect and characterize even subtle abnormalities, improving colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis.
NBI excels at highlighting suspicious polyps, mainly flat or non-bulging lesions that might be missed during a regular colonoscopy.
By pinpointing suspicious areas with greater precision, NBI enables more targeted biopsies, minimizing patient discomfort and optimizing diagnostic yield.
NBI facilitates better distinguishing benign polyps from those with malignant potential, potentially reducing unnecessary polypectomy.
NBI's ability to detect precancerous lesions early allows timely intervention and potentially improves patient outcomes.
NBI offers a higher chance of identifying polyps, leading to earlier intervention and potentially preventing colorectal cancer.
By differentiating benign from potentially malignant polyps, NBI may minimize unnecessary polypectomies.
Targeted biopsies with NBI can lead to more accurate diagnoses and potentially reduce the need for additional procedures.
A thorough colonoscopy with NBI can provide greater reassurance about your colorectal health.
Standard colonoscopy uses white light for visualization. NBI incorporates specific light filters to enhance the mucosal details and blood vessels, offering a magnified and more detailed examination.
The bowel preparation for an NBI colonoscopy is similar to a standard colonoscopy. You will likely receive instructions regarding fasting and laxative use beforehand.
NBI is generally considered safe. The risks associated with colonoscopy, such as bleeding or perforation, are minimal and comparable to a standard procedure.
Depending on the findings during the colonoscopy, your gastroenterologist may recommend further investigations like biopsies or follow-up procedures.
At GastroExperts, we are at the forefront of colon cancer screening and diagnosis. NBI colonoscopy is a valuable tool in our arsenal, allowing us to provide the most precise and efficient evaluation of your colon health. If you are due for a colonoscopy or have concerns about your colorectal health, schedule an appointment with our expert gastroenterologists to discuss whether an NBI colonoscopy is the right choice.
