On the dye spraying method in colonofiberscopy.
Dye spraying method was applied in colonofiberscopy; 111 cases of normal colonic mucosa and 26 cases of ulcerative colitis were examined by this method. Using indigocarmine in this method, we could recognize the fine mucosal changes more easily and clearly and get better information for differential diagnosis. Furthermore, the degree of staining of the mucosa by methylene blue, one of the ultra vital staining dye, is different according to the stage of the inflammatory process of colonic mucosa itself in ulcerative colitis. Namely the stainability of the colonic mucosa is corresponding to the healing process of the disease.
