Abstract:
Endocytoscopy (EC) is now one of the valuable technologies in diagnosing colorectal tumors. Providing ultra-high-resolution white light images (520×), endocytoscopy attains the so called virtual histology or optical biopsy, making it a promising tool to diagnose colorectal lesions. Recent studies about artificial intelligence (AI) or computer aided diagnosis (CAD) are also increasingly reported. We investigate the current application of endocytoscopy, as well as the benefit of AI and CAD. Furthermore, we performed a meta-analysis comparing the diagnostic performance of endocytoscopy and magnified chromoendoscopy. In conclusion, this systematic review and meta-analysis supports the recent finding indicating the higher diagnostic performance of endocytoscope in the depth assessment of colorectal neoplasms.
