Narrow Band Imaging (NBI)
technology has gotten FDA clearance. According to dotmed.com
“NBI will allow physicians to remove small tumors in their offices, which will
prevent costly operating room procedures if the tumor is spotted early enough.”
This is a great because it cuts down on having to coordinate hospital visits
for relatively simple procedures that shouldn't take quite as long as they
normally do. According to the dotmed.com article “Blood absorbs NBI's blue and
green light more so it makes the tissue appear darker and allows the surgeon to
see vascular structures on the mucosal surface more clearly.
The blue light is
used to highlight the shallow capillaries and the green light highlights deeper
veins.” This kind of advance may mean a new overall solution to an old problem,
aiding in cutting down patient inconvenience, not to mention bladder tumors.
