Background: Chromoendoscopy has not been fully integrated into capsule endoscopy. This study aimded to develop and validate a novel intelligent chromo capsule endoscope (ICCE).

Methods: The ICCE has two modes: a white-light imaging (WLI) mode and an intelligent chromo imaging (ICI) mode. The performance of the ICCE in observing colors, animal tissues, and early gastrointestinal (GI) neoplastic lesions in humans was evaluated. Images captured by the ICCE were analysed using variance of Laplacian (VoL) values or image contrast evaluation.

Results: For color observation, conventional narrow-band imaging endoscopes and the ICI mode of the ICCE have similar spectral distributions. Compared with the WLI mode, the ICI mode had significantly higher VoL values for animal tissues (2.154 ± 1.044 vs 3.800 ± 1.491, =0.003), gastric precancerous lesions and early gastric cancers (2.242 ± 0.162 vs 6.642 ± 0.919, <0.001), and colon tumors (3.896 ± 1.430 vs 11.882 ± 7.663, <0.001), and significantly higher contrast for differentiating tumor and non-tumor areas (0.069 ± 0.046 vs 0.144 ± 0.076, =0.005). More importantly, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the ICI mode for early GI tumors were 95.83%, 91.67%, and 94.64%, respectively, which were significantly higher than the values of the WLI mode (78.33% [0.001], 77.08% [=0.01], and 77.98% [0.001], respectively).

Conclusions: We successfully integrated ICI into the capsule endoscope. The ICCE is an innovative and useful tool for differential diagnosis based on contrast-enhanced images and thus has great potential as a superior diagnostic tool for early GI tumor detection.

To investigate the morphological features of colorectal sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) and hyperplastic polyp (HP) by white light endoscope (WLE) and Image enhancement endoscope (IEE) . The data of 7 384 patients who underwent colonoscopy at the Center of Digestive Endoscopy, Peking University International Hospital from August 1, 2016 to February 29, 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. WLE and IEE[Fuji intelligent chromo endoscopy (FICE) or Blue Laser Imaging (BLI) ]were used to compare the morphological features of SSA/P with HP, SSA/P-CD(+)with SSA/P-CD(-).

Objectives: Accurate, real-time, endoscopic risk stratification of colorectal polyps would improve decision-making and optimize clinical efficiency. Technologies to manipulate endoscopic optical outputs can be used to predict polyp histology in vivo; however, it remains unclear how accuracy has progressed and whether it is sufficient for routine clinical implementation.

Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted by searching MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library.

Background: i-Scan is an image enhancement modality, which provides enhanced views of mucosal structures and vascular patterns.

Methods: A modified Delphi process was used to develop a series of evidence-based statements on the role of high-definition white light (HDWL) and i-Scan for the detection and diagnosis of colorectal neoplasms. Each statement was voted to achieve consensus (i.
