Image enhanced colonoscopy: updates and prospects—a review

ABSTRACT: Colonoscopy has been proven to be a successful approach in both identifying and preventing colorectal cancer. The incorporation of advanced imaging technologies, such as image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE), plays a vital role in real-time diagnosis. The advancements in endoscopic imaging technology have been continuous, from replacing fiber optics with charge-coupled devices to the introduction of chromoendoscopy in the 1970s. Recent technological advancements include “push-button” technologies like autofluorescence imaging (AFI), narrowed-spectrum endoscopy, and confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE). Dye-based chromoendoscopy (DCE) is falling out of favor due to the longer time required for application and removal of the dye and the difficulty of identifying lesions in certain situations. Narrow
