Narrow Band Imaging

FIG. 30:  There is a definite need for new technologies to improve diagnosis and prognosis of patients.  As illustrated in this Figure, narrow band imaging, optical coherence tomography, confocal laser raster/endomicroscopy, multifocal microscopy, ramen spectroscopy, and others can be expected to enter the field and improve not only diagnosis and identification of tumor, staging, but also prognosis and response to therapy.
