Evaluation of patients with endoscopically suspected esophageal metaplasia (ESEM) by trimodal – High resolution magnifying endoscopy (HRME), endoscopic autofluorescence (AFI) and narrow band imaging (NBI) endoscopic technique – Initial Hungarian experience

Abstract

Background: Trimodal imaging endoscopy – HRME, AFI, and NBI – is a new promising technique for the detection of early neoplasias in patients with ESEM. In contrast to the conventional endoscopy this new technique may allow us to obtain targeted biopsies from suspicious lesions.
