Chromoendoscopy and magnification

What does it consist of?

The chromoendoscopy y magnification are advanced techniques that are used during the endoscopy to study the mucosa of the digestive system in greater detail. They allow specific areas to be highlighted and enlarged to identify alterations that might otherwise go unnoticed in a conventional examination.

Thanks to the use of speciality colourants o advanced imaging technologies, Alongside augmentation systems, it is possible to analyse mucosal patterns with great precision. This is particularly useful in the early detection of lesions, dysplasias or subtle changes in tissue.

These techniques not only they improve diagnostic capacity, which also help in making more precise decisions during exploration, such as delineating lesions or directing biopsies more effectively.
