Novel developments in endoscopic mucosal imaging

Endoscopic techniques such as High-definition and optical-chromoendoscopy have had enormous impact on endoscopy practice. Since these techniques allow assessment of most subtle morphological mucosal abnormalities, further improvements in endoscopic practice lay in increasing the detection efficacy of endoscopists. Several new developments could assist in this. First, web based training tools could improve the skills of the endoscopist for enhancing the detection and classification of lesions. Secondly, incorporation of computer aided detection will be the next step to raise endoscopic quality of the captured data.
