[Dynamic imaging of gastric ulcer healing using the most modern Morph-Software]

The presentation of gastric ulcer healing taken from video endoscopy as a dynamic process could not be realized till now. The documentation of the dynamic healing process shattered either on the patient's compliance or on the inconstancy of the image cut due to wobbling. The replay should be performed as a time lapse whereby the picture disturbances would become an essential part.-Instead of presenting a continuous film, instant takes of ulcer healing were processed. A dynamic effect was produced by computer-assisted production of intermediate pictures. A video was created in which short video sequences in definite time intervals were recorded endoscopically. Single stills-so-called original pictures-fitting together from each sequence were selected and spliced together. The missing intermediate pictures were made with a special computer technique according to the mathematical concept of interpolation. With this technique, the dynamic documentation of gastric ulcer healing in a 47-year-old male patient was performed. The technique enables an almost natural and real observation of ulcer healing and promises new physiological and patho-physiological knowledge in gastroenterologic endoscopy.
