PINERO, Ramón; PINERO, Regina  and  SIERRA, Marcos. Patterns of gastric mucosa of the corpus with endoscopic magnification and Flexible Spectral Imaging Colour Enhancement (FICE). Gen [online]. 2013, vol.67, n.3, pp.153-155. ISSN 0016-3503.

With standard endoscopy is not possible to display patterns nor the microstructures of the surface of the gastric mucosa, only endoscopic magnification allows to observe the patterns. Objective: Identify the patterns of corpus gastric mucosa with magnification and "Flexible Spectral Imaging Colour Enhancement" (FICE). Patients: Individuals scheduled to undergo routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were enrolled. Materials and methods: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed with Fujinon Inc. EG 590 ZW, and processor 4400 EPX. On both sides of the gastric corpus endoscopy was performed consecutively with: a) high-resolution, b) magnification, c) high resolution, d) FICE, e)magnification and f) high resolution. The classification of Yagi K, et al with endoscopic magnification, was used to identify patterns of gastric mucosa. The entire procedure was recorded, was photographed and was saved in JPEG in Power Point. Results: 60 areas in 30 patients were evaluated: 10 men and 20 women with 23-82 years and 49.60 years average age range. Only magnification identified patterns of gastric mucosa and FICE highlighted them. The patterns found were: 5 Z0 (8.33%), 13 Z1 (21.66%), 20 Z2 (33.33%) and 22 Z3 (36.66%). Conclusion: Only magnifying endoscopy identifies patterns of gastric mucosa of the body and FICE highlighted them.

Keywords : Pattern of gastric corpus mucosa; FICE; chromoendoscopy; virtual chromoendoscopy; endoscopic magnification.
