title: Observer agreement in the assessment of narrowband imaging system surface patterns in Barrett's esophagus: a multicenter study.
abstract: The clinical utility of narrow-band imaging (NBI) for Barrett's esophagus is limited by the multiplicity of classification schemes. We evaluated the interobserver agreement and accuracy of a new consensus-driven simplified binary classification of NBI surface patterns.
