Preface
The field of endoscopy burgeoned from a simple tube with lenses and a light source that could visualize the gross lining of the stomach to a myriad of different platforms and technologies. The endoscopes themselves have evolved over the generations where now high-resolution endoscopy provides on the order of eight hundred thousand to one million pixels to discriminate finer details. Chromoendoscopy dyes and virtual chromoendoscopy have provided details in the mucosal surface and the superficial vasculature. This quest for detail has delved beyond the gross architecture, to be able to provide an optical biopsy with micro-architectural detail with confocal laser endomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography-based technologies, and endocytoscopy. Other strategies have widened our endoscopic field of view and provide surface area visible to us that may otherwise be hidden in a retroflexed position or behind folds in the colon. Or, new developments may allow access to places where standard scopes may not reach such as in the pancreas or in the bile ducts. These tools may be used for lesion detection in the case of screening. They also may be used for lesion classifica
