Abstract

For the first time it was possible to differentiate low grade dysplasia from non-dysplastic Barrett's mucosa during endoscopy based on delayed laser induced fluorescence endoscopy of PpIX. Furthermore, the method helps to detect specialised intestinal metaplasia in short Barrett's oesophagus.
