Application example for HD+ and i-scan in the upper gastrointestinal tract. HD+ i-scan SE i-scan TE The differential diagnosis of gastric lesions is challenging. In this case, a polypoid lesion was clearly visualised with HD+ imaging. i-scan Surface Enhancement (SE) made it possible to visualise the regular surface architecture. i-scan Tone Enhancement (TE) then confirmed that the patterns on the surface are identical to those on the surrounding tissue. This supported the endoscopist in the prediction of the diagnosis of hyperplastic gastric polyps and even prevented unnecessary endoscopic intervention....
