The Fujinon intelligent color enhancement (FICE) system is a new, virtual chromoendoscopy technique that enhances mucosal visibility. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) with FICE technology (EPX-4400 processor, Japan) for the characterization of various small-bowel diseases. Overall, a total of 574 endoscopic pictures were obtained and analyzed. FICE was found to be a helpful method for the evaluation of adenomatous small-bowel polyps and angiodysplasias. Its use for the characterization of celiac and Crohn's disease appears to be limited. Overall, FICE may become a useful method that aids in characterization and provides new insights to small-bowel pathologies.
富士能智能色彩增强(FICE)系统是一种新型的虚拟染色内镜技术,可增强黏膜可视性。本研究的目的是评估采用FICE技术(日本EPX - 4400处理器)的双气囊小肠镜(DBE)对各种小肠疾病的诊断价值。总体而言,共获取并分析了574张内镜图像。结果发现,FICE是评估小肠腺瘤性息肉和血管发育异常的一种有用方法。其在乳糜泻和克罗恩病诊断中的应用似乎有限。总体而言,FICE可能成为一种有助于疾病诊断并为小肠病变提供新见解的有用方法。
