Visualization of the normal pituitary gland during the endoscopic endonasal removal of pituitary adenoma by narrow band imaging

摘要

Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an endoscopic technology that enhances the visualization of the superficial and submucosal vasculature. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of NBI in visualizing the normal pituitary gland during the endoscopic endonasal removal of pituitary adenoma.
