How NBI Works?

Advanced Endoscopy Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) Punjab, India, NBI stands for Narrow Band Imaging is the optical technology that is proven beneficial for different medical conditions. It helps in viewing the minutest mucosal and vascular pattern. During this procedure, the wavelengths are used which takes the hemoglobin for maximum contrast.
Various studies have shown the clinical value of NBI and it is also regarding the cancer detection and checking the suspicious areas of mucosal. If we compare it with the white-light endoscopy, the capillaries images are less blurry and the chances of
Lesions being missed are rare.

What are the imperative benefits of NBI?

Narrowband imaging (NBI) can provide various benefits which are mentioned below:

  • Throughout the hospital, one platform is available for it.
  • Improves the quality of care as the visibility is improved and facilitating optical diagnosis and delineation (the act of representing) of lesions.
  • No special preparation is needed. You can get access to the technology at the touch of a button and there is no extra cost.

Esophagus Screening

Narrow band imaging has proved to be a reliable choice for the targeted biopsy for the esophagus. It helps in checking more neoplasia and there is a need for fewer biopsies. Although biopsy cannot be avoided completely. For esophagus surveillance, NBI is known for improving cost-effectiveness along with quality.
The system is classified into high-grade dysplasia and adenocarcinoma which is developed by the experts.
Bariatric esophagus (which is precursor of adenocarcinoma) can be properly screened for dysplastic areas & treated before onset of any complication

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Narrow Band Imaging Increases the Detection of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Head, esophageal, and neck squamous cell carcinoma are detected in the later stage because of the flat appearance it has. When the white light imaging is used there is a minimal color change in it. When the detection is not done on time, it can lead to a poor survival-rate which is less than 25%.
Hence, the NBI use has shown that the use of SCC boosts the detection rate. This way you will be getting treatment on time and it will result in a better prognosis. The IPCL
(interpupillary capillary loops) provides distinct visualization which helps the experts to know about the infiltration depth and thus the therapy decisions are taken correctly.

Narrow Band Imaging Enables High-Confidence Optical Diagnosis of Colorectal Lesions

Different studies have shown that it provides favorable results for assessing the condition of colorectal lesions. Not only it increases the adenoma detection rates when the bowel preparation is good. Moreover, it also results in highly accurate optical predictions for polyp histology and interval agreement with histopathology.
