Figure 1 Standard forward-view vs full-spectrum endoscopy.
The standard forward-viewing (SFV) endoscope has a 150° (gastroscope) or 170° (colonoscope) field of view shown on a single screen (A and C). The full-spectrum endoscopy (FUSE) system features additional imagers and provides a 245° (gastroscope) or 330° (colonoscope) field of view presented on two (gastroscope) or three (colonoscope) contiguous screens (B and D).
Figure 2 Demonstration of full-spectrum endoscopy.
The full-spectrum endoscopy (FUSE) reveals “hidden” colon polyps of several types not detected by traditional standard forward-view colonoscopy.
