Magnification endoscopy in the esophagus and stomach

Magnification endoscopy in the esophagus and stomach INTRODUCTION In this session, the impact of a new magnification endoscopy in the diagnosis of esophageal and gastric lesions is discussed. Development of a new magnification endoscopy So far, many studies utilizing magnification endoscopy have been reported, but some limitations have existed to the routine use of it. Older magnifying endoscopes had a larger diameter, and were relatively difficult for insertion through the pharynx, and therefore magnifying endoscopy actually became an additional study to the routine endoscopic ex‐amination. A new magnifying endoscope (Q240Z, Olympus Optical Co., Tokyo, Japan) keeps the same size in scope diameter approximately to a screening endoscope (Q240, Olympus). It also mounts a high resolution CCD tip same to a routine endoscope and it also has a 80 × magnifying power. In other words, an endoscopist can use a new magnifying endoscope as a routine screening endoscopy if a magnifying observation of the lesion is not necessary. Magnification endoscopic findings in the esophageal lesion In the esophagus, magnification endoscopy facilitates well, both to the diagnosis of the negatively stained lesion with iodine and to the evaluation of infiltration depth of squamous cell carcinoma.
