Procedure
Modern endoscopes combine high-resolution video with specialised light filters (NBI, BLI, LCI) that highlight surface vessels and tissue patterns, helping us detect very early changes.
Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), Blue Laser Imaging (BLI) and Linked Colour Imaging (LCI) use light filters to enhance the visibility of mucosal patterns and blood vessels.
These features come built into our endoscopes and are used during routine procedures for any patient where they add value.
No different from standard endoscopy. The advanced imaging modes are activated with a button on the scope handle as needed.
All endoscopic procedures carry a small risk of bleeding, perforation, or reaction to sedation. These risks are uncommon when the procedure is done by a trained endoscopist in a hospital setting.
We will explain the risks specific to your case during the consultation, before you sign consent.
Common questions
Is this the same as a regular endoscopy?
Same procedure, better cameras. The enhanced imaging modes are used selectively when they add information.
