Background: Liver biopsy is a gold standard method for hepatic steatosis assessment. However, liver biopsy is an invasive and painful procedure and can cause severe complications therefore it cannot be frequently used in case of follow-up of patients. Non-invasive assessment of steatosis and fibrosis is of growing relevance in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Lifestyle modification is a recommended treatment for NAFLD. In most of the previous studies, improvement after lifestyle modification was assessed by liver fibrosis through liver biopsy, but we cannot do a serial liver biopsy in every NAFLD patient.

- This study examined the effectiveness of high-definition white light endoscopy (hWLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI) in distinguishing between tiny colorectal polyps (≤ 5 mm), which account for 80% of colon polyps.
- Eight endoscopists evaluated 100 video recordings of polyps (some hyperplastic, some adenomatous) using both hWLE and NBI, with NBI showing improvements in accuracy from 68.8% to 91.3% after training.
- The results indicated that NBI could achieve similar accuracy levels as hWLE for differentiating polyps, with better interobserver agreement, making it a useful tool for end
