Main description:

This book is a comprehensive, state-of-the art update of the field of endoscopic imaging. The approaches to novel imaging and cutting edge techniques are demonstrated in the context of gastrointestinal endoscopic imaging, with discussions on both techniques in use and exploration of novel imaging platforms on the horizon in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Designed to convey practical information on these innovative approaches in a user-friendly manner, each chapter focuses on the principals of the technology under discussion, highlights key clinical indications, demonstrates the equipment and set up required, covers the basic technique, and reviews complication profiles, and comparison to standard or alternative approaches. Chapters also provides the expert's tips and tricks for the reader to more practically and easily translate the information provided into safe and successful practice. The volume is also accompanied by videos demonstrating highlighting certain techniques.
Written by experts in the field, Endoscopic Imaging Techniques and Tools is a valuable resource for clinicians, trainees, and researchers interested in the field of endoscopic imaging.
