Abstract

In the present literature review the authors analyze the state-of-art of modern endoscopic technologies utilized for colon examination. New diagnostic techniques which appeared in last decades -such as virtual chromoscopy, magnifying endoscopy, endosonography, autofluorescent diagnostics, confocal laser endomicroscopy- have significantly increased the importance of endoscopic examinations. In the article, one also can find data which back the effectiveness of virtual chromoendoscopy in endoscopic diagnostics of colon neoplasms. The virtual chromoscopy is aimed to improve a detailed examination of surface structures, capillary network what can be achieved due to optical filters and post-computer image processing. The virtual chromoscopy is an effective technique of endoscopic diagnostics of tumors in the colon. However, there still remains a number of unsolved issues on its application which need further research and perfection.
