Figure 2 Some depressed cancers are shown as whitish lesion by conventional endoscopy.
A: Conventional image (EG590-ZW) reveals a slightly whitish mucosal change in the anterior wall of antrum; B: Flexible spectral imaging color enhancement (FICE) image enhances a whitish cancerous lesion and can determine a line of demarcation between cancer and surrounding mucosa; C: FICE image in a close-up view (EG590-WR) detects with precision a clearer demarcation line; D: FICE image with half magnification (EG590-ZW) reveals a finer microstructural pattern on mucosal surface of cancer and higher contrasting mucosa between cancer and the surrounding area, leading a clearer demarcation line.
