title: Autofluorescence and narrow band imaging in Barrett's esophagus.
abstract: This review discusses the application of 2 novel imaging techniques in Barrett's esophagus: autofluorescence imaging and narrow band imaging (NBI). Autofluorescence as well as NBI may help to direct endoscopic therapy for early neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus; their value in daily practice, however, seems to be limited and needs further evaluation.
