Journal of Innovative Medical Technology

The remarkable advancements and innovations in the field of therapeutic endoscopy have made it possible to treat conditions that previously required surgical intervention, significantly improving the quality of life for patients. Therapeutic endoscopy is typically performed after mastering the techniques of diagnostic endoscopy. While novice practitioners initially focus on successfully completing procedures using existing devices, experienced clinicians often turn their attention to developing new tools to facilitate procedures or to explore novel treatment methods. Simulators are also develo...

Hemostatic powder for malignant gastrointestinal tumor bleeding

Malignant gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding poses a significant clinical challenge due to the friable nature of tumor surfaces and abnormal vasculature, leading to high rates of rebleeding and treatment failure. Conventional endoscopic hemostatic methods often prove insufficient in such cases, necessitating alternative strategies. Hemostatic powders, such as TC-325 (Hemospray), have emerged as a viable solution, providing immediate hemostasis by forming a physical barrier at the bleeding site and promoting coagulation. Many studies have demonstrated a high immediate hemostasis rate and reduced re...

Traction methods for endoscopic submucosal dissection

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used to achieve en bloc resection of superficial neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. ESD is technically challenging because a “second hand” cannot be inserted to provide tissue tension and improve the visibility of the dissection plane. To overcome such difficulties and provide appropriate tension in the desired direction, various traction methods have been introduced, ranging from natural traction using gravity, buoyancy, and water pressure, to hood traction and device-assisted traction using special devices such as dental flos...

Medical applications of endogenous fluorescence lifetime imaging

Fluorescence lifetime, the decay rate of fluorescence signals, varies among different biochemical fluorescent molecules. In biomedical imaging, endogenous fluorescent components emit autofluorescence with varying decay rates, and their fluorescence lifetimes can be utilized as biomarkers in a label-free manner. This review introduces the applications of biomedical imaging using the endogenous fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) technique. As tumors exhibit distinct metabolic activities compared to normal tissues, numerous studies have been conducted to diagnose them using FLIm-based endoscopy...

Rib segmentation in chest X-ray images with oblique projection data

Background: Because computer-aided diagnoses can identify features that are not easily visible, their application in X-ray images of the chest is continuously increasing. However, most chest X-ray computer-aided diagnosis studies have been conducted using frontal projection,—such as posterior-anterior or anterior-posterior—radiographs, because other projections that might show otherwise obscured characteristic features are not widely accessible. Accordingly, we investigated the rib semantic segmentation in chest X-ray images projected frontally and obliquely. Materials and Methods:...

Arterio-nodo-gastric fistula as an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding

Gastrointestinal bleeding is an emergency condition requiring immediate intervention. It is essential to localize the bleeding focus in the gastrointestinal tract using endoscopy. Lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer is common, but it is rare to fistulize the stomach wall. While there are various hemostatic methods available, embolization through the fistula can be highly beneficial. In cases of failed endoscopic hemostasis or hemodynamic instability, embolization could be useful but entails a risk of rebleeding. Therefore, the emergence of new technologies for hemostasis is anticipated....

Endoscopic closure with Padlock clip for iatrogenic duodenal perforation

Although, the incidence of iatrogenic duodenal perforation is not high, it is associated with high morbidity and mortality in elderly patients. Primary surgical repair had been regarded as the treatment of choice for this situation. There have been some case reports in which endoscopic closure using through-the-scope clips with/without endo-loop for an iatrogenic duodenal perforation was successful in Korea. A novel endoscopic clip, Padlock clip has been introduced as the endoscopic closure system for the gastrointestinal perforation. We experienced the case of successful treatment of the iatr...

A case of delayed bleeding caused by a stent after endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collection

Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) occur in about 50% of acute pancreatitis cases and may necessitate intervention when complications arise. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is a widely accepted treatment but carries risks such as bleeding. A 40-year-old female with alcohol-induced pancreatitis developed a large pancreatic cyst. She underwent EUS-guided drainage with a double pigtail plastic stent. Ten days after the procedure, she presented with gastrointestinal bleeding. Imaging revealed a hematoma near the stent, possibly caused by irritation from the stent. The patient was trea...
