Endocytoscopy for histological evaluation of inflammation in ulcerative colitis

Figure 1 Endocytoscopic scoring among patients with endoscopic remission (Mayo endoscopic score of 0). A: Conventional endoscopy image showing remission; B: The corresponding endocytoscopic score (ECSS) image: Round crypts, normal distance between adjacent crypts with no inflammatory cell infiltration (ECSS score of 0, inactive inflammation); C: Conventional endoscopy image showing remission; D: The corresponding ECSS image, widened distance between the adjacent crypts with inflammatory cell infiltration (ECSS score of 1, active inflammation).

Figure 2 Comparison of endocytoscopic findings. ECSS: Endoscopic scoring.

Figure 3 Receiver operating characteristic curves of endoscopic scoring for predicting histological inflammation stratified by different Geboes score cut-offs. A: Geboes score < 2B; B: Geboes score < 3.2. AUC: Arear under curve; CI: Confidence interval.
