Introduction: Standard endoscopy requires biopsy to diagnose histological gastritis. Gastric mucosa micro structures are observed with magnification suggesting its presence. Objective: Diagnosing histological gastritis in the gastric body according to the mucosal pattern identified 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. 590 EG ZW and EPX 4400 processor. On both sides of the gastric corpus endoscopy was performed consecutively with: a) high-resolution, b) magnification, c) high resolution d) FICE, e) magnification, f) high resolution and g) biopsies of both sides of the body evaluated by pathologists without clinical information. The entire procedure was recorded, was photographed and was saved in JPEG in program Power Point. Results: 60 areas in 30 patients were evaluated: 10 men and 20 women with ages of 23-82 years and average 49.60. Only magnification identified patterns of gastric mucosa and they were highlighted with FICE. Histological gastritis was found in all identified Z2 and Z3 areas but none in Z0 pattern. Conclusion: The pattern of mucosa in gastric body observed with magnification and FICE diagnosed histological gastritis.
