Figure 2 Endoscopic images of a representative case in which the gastroesophageal junction was detected due to the visibility of the proximal end of the gastric folds. (A) White light imaging (WLI). Barrett’s mucosa existed approximately 1 cm circumferentially and 3 cm in maximum length in the lower esophagus; this was diagnosed as short-segment Barrett’s esophagus (SSBE, Prague Classification: C1M3). In this case, the palisade vessels were invisible and the gastroesophageal junction (GE-J) was detected by the proximal end of the gastric folds. (B) Texture and color enhancement imaging mode 1 (TXI-1). (C) Texture and color enhancement imaging mode 2 (TXI-2). (D) Narrow-band imaging (NBI).
