Endoscopy Live: GERD & Barrett's Esophagus: The Journey Continues | December 2021-Procedure 6: Imaging of BE and Neoplasia

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Horst Neuhaus from Dusseldorf discusses imaging techniques for Barrett's esophagus. He introduces a 66-year-old patient who initially had occasional heartburn and was later diagnosed with severe reflux esophagitis and Barrett's epithelium. The patient was treated with PPI, which resolved the inflammation. Dr. Neuhaus demonstrates the use of the Olympus ADIS-1 technology, which combines black and white chip technology used in Japan and the UK with color chip technology used in the US. He shows endoscopic images of the Barrett's esophagus, using different modes and magnification to evaluate suspicious lesions. The plan for the patient includes biopsy, mapping, and possible removal of the lesion through EMR or RFA. Dr. Neuhaus emphasizes the importance of precise diagnosis before resection.
