Chromoendoscopy

Chromoendoscopy is a technique of colonoscopically inspecting the colonic mucosa after staining it with dyes such as indigo carmine or methylene blue. Studies using this technique to look for subtle contour changes demonstrate improved rates of adenoma detection. Chromoendoscopy has been combined with improvements in optics such as imaging magnification to observe staining patterns for predicting tissue malignant potential. A randomized, prospective trial of 660 patients comparing this high-definition chromoendoscopy and standard OC showed that chromoendoscopy improved sensitivity for colorectal lesions (both neoplastic and non-neoplastic) of 6-10 mm from 90% to 97% and specificity from 61% to 100%. Journal of Medical Diagnostic Methods is one of the top online publishing journals for research from the field of Chromoendoscopy. The open access articles published in this scholarly journal are reviewed by at least two reviewers of the associated fields. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, case reports, short communications, etc and emphasizes theoretical and experimental work. To ensure high quality articles, both editors and reviewers actively participate in the peer review process and help in completing the review process within 21 days. As an important educational platform the journal provides scientists and researchers access to the newest trends and research outlooks.
