Narrow Band Imaging of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Biomedical Optics in Otorhinolaryngology

Abstract

Endoscopy of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) has been influenced by different innovations over the last two decades. The use of chip-on-the-tip rigid or flexible endoscopes was a change in endoscopic function. The next step was the increase of resolution as well as the introduction of high-definition (HD) imaging especially in flexible endoscopes. 4K resolution is almost ready to take the next step. Additionally, endoscopic imaging techniques, e.g., narrowband imaging, autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography, a.o., have been developed to get more details about the pathological changes besides normal white light endoscopy.
