Imaging enhanced endoscopy: A practical approach
Lui Ka Luen
Tuen Mun Hospital, Hong Kong
Image enhanced endoscopy (IEE) is a combination of different advanced endoscopic methods which help to provide optical real
time diagnosis for the luminal lesions. Traditional biopsy may have a disadvantage of sampling error since biopsy usually provide a
small portion of lesion except the total excisional biopsy provided by small advanced excisional technique e.g, endoscopic submucosal
dissection. Methods for IEE in general included special lighting e.g, narrow band imaging or blue laser imaging, both optical or
digital magnification, chromoendoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound. Although different sites in luminal tract will have differences
in terms of interpretion of IEE. In general, the purpose of IEE is to provide an optical diagnosis for a specific lesion regarding of the
nature of lesion i.e., benign or malignant, and if the lesion is likely to have malignant component, the information about the depth of
invasion can be provided. The approach of IEE start with the macroscopic appearance of the lesion in term of the color, shape, surface,
consistency. The surface pattern and vascular pattern under the special light or chromoendoscopy are then observed to provide
more information of the nature of the lesion and depth of invasion. Endoscopic ultrasound can provide more details of the depth
of invasion. Good quality IEE is a must before any endoscopic treatment for the luminal lesion especially in the era of endoscopic
submucosal dissection for good case selection.
Biography
Lui Ka Luen completed his Graduation from University of Hong Kong in 2004 with distinction in Medicine. He became a Specialist in Gastroenterology in 2012 in Hong Kong
and awarded Fellow of Hong Kong College of Physician in 2012. Then, he further pursued his career in “Imaging enhanced endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic
submucosal dissection and submucosal tunnel dissection” in Japan under direct mentorship of Professor Takashi Toyonaga. He is now an Honorary Clinical Assistant
Professor at Chinese University of Hong Kong. He also published paper and is an invited speaker in various local and international journals, conferences and meetings.
