A narrative review: narrow-band imaging endoscopic classifications.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

With the development of endoscopic techniques, narrow-band imaging (NBI) has been widely used in the diagnosis of various types of diseases. NBI can detect mucosal lesions at an early stage and different classification strategies have been established to help clinicians in disease diagnosis.

This report summarizes the current classifications of diseases using NBI, so as to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various manifestations of mucosal lesions under NBI, and to promote the development of more practical NBI classifications.
