Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal endoscopy has seen remarkable progress in recent years. The incorporation of advanced imaging technologies, such as image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE), plays a vital role in the real-time diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer. Continuous advancements are being made in endoscopic imaging technology, therapeutic endoscopy using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and cold polypectomy, and endoscopic hemostasis for gastrointestinal bleeding. Moreover, small bowel endoscopy techniques, such as capsule endoscopy (CE) and device-assisted endoscopy, have significantly advanced in the past two decades. In recent years, innovations in endoscopy have been made regarding artificial intelligence-based automated lesion detection and image-enhanced technologies. This Special Issue, “Advanced Image-Enhanced Endoscopy and Colonoscopy”, will feature in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, with Prof. Dr. G. Melita, Prof. Dr. M. Maida, and Dr S. Di Caro serving as Guest Editors.
In this Special Issue, we focus on recent advances and the clinical impact of gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Image-enhanced endoscopy for gastrointestinal disorders;
- Therapeutic endoscopy;
- Endoscopic hemostasis;
- Device-assisted endoscopy (DAE);
- Diagnostic yields and clinical impacts of capsule endoscopy (CE);
- CE and AI (artificial intelligence);
- Narrow-band imaging (NBI);
- Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE);
- The application of colon, gastric and esophageal CE.
Based on your publication records and expertise in this field, we would like to invite you to contribute a paper to this Special Issue; we welcome the submission of research articles and reviews. We would additionally appreciate it if you could ask any colleagues or experts in this field who may be interested to submit a manuscript.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Please feel free to contact us for more information.
