Abstract

Background: The blue laser imaging is a kind of new endoscopic system, sending 2 different wavelengths of laser.

Result: It can observed that the gastrointestinal mucosa shallow capillaries and mucosal surface microstructure are shown in bright and high resolution images, thus being helpful to the diagnosis of early digestive tract cancer. It has unique advantages compared with the existing technique. This article reviewed the application of blue laser imaging in diagnosis of early gastrointestinal carcinoma.

Keywords: blue laser imaging; colorectal lesion; diagnosis; early carcinoma of gastrointestinal tract; surface microstructure.
