Olympus Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) has set a new standard for endoscopy. Now, the improved NBI with EVIS EXERA III takes imaging to a completely new level. This brochure provides an insight into this innovative technology, highlighting how NBI works and how to optimize images, plus various studies that analyze its

Narrow-band imaging is an imaging technique for endoscopic diagnostic medical tests, where light of specific blue and green wavelengths is used to enhance the detail of certain aspects of the surface of the mucosa.

This review focuses on one of the most available and widespread AEITs, i.e., narrow-band imaging (NBI), and aims to explain how it works as well as its utility in gastrointestinal endoscopy, summarizing the available classification systems.

The first launch of narrow band imaging (NBI) was in 2005. Since then, in most countries where gastrointestinal endoscopies are performed, NBI is the most commonly used optical digital method of performing image-enhanced endoscopy.

Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a powerful tool for the diagnosis of disease as it enables clear visualization of the surface of the capillary vessels. Indeed, numerous studies have shown that NBI can improve the precision of tumor diagnosis ( 12 - 17 ).

NBI is an optical imaging technology that enhances the visibility of vessels and other tissue on the mucosal surface. NBI works by filtering the white light into specific light wavelengths that are absorbed by hemoglobin and penetrate only the surface of human tissue.

What is Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)? NBI is an optical imaging technology that enhances the visibility of vessels and other structures on or near the mucosal surface. The gastrointestinal tract is mainly composed of blood vessels and mucosa.

Narrow band imaging (NBI) identifies abnormal neoangiogenic patterns on the mucosa. Its application in the pre-and intra-operative setting has been recently been shown to be an useful adjunct in the detection of primary lesion.

Olympus Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is an optical technology available for a variety of medical disciplines which helps to visualize the minutest vascular and mucosal patterns. NBI uses only wavelengths absorbed by hemoglobin for maximum contrast.

Olympus’ High-Definition Narrow Band Imaging (HD NBI) technology has enhanced visual observation of mucosal and vascular patterns for five years. Now you can use HD NBI technology to target suspicious areas in Barrett’s esophagus patients for biopsy.
