| Research Abstract |
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide are considered to be main autofluorescence substances included in the gastrointestinal mucosae. There is a possibility that small neoplastic lesions can be detected by observing the mucosal autofluorescence. In this study, we developed and improved an NADH autofluorescence imaging method which was optimized for detection of bowel tumors. This method was useful for label-free detection of small-sized bowel tumors.
