5. CONCLUSION<br />

This paper describes new functionalities for a CE, based on the use of NBI and<br />

automated analysis procedures for diagnosis support. The diagnosis support system is<br />

currently under development, new algorithms are being implemented, and the main<br />

objective is to decrease time needed to analyze the results of the exam and, at the same<br />

time, increase the proportion of positive diagnosis and the reliability of differential<br />

diagnosis (mainly benign–malignant) of intestinal diseases, aiming to reduce the<br />

proportion of complications and deaths, to decrease the costs and to increase the health<br />

related quality of life. Such a system will improve the early detection of precursor<br />

lesions, aiming at increasing the success rate of treatment and life expectation.<br />

The research described in this paper has been performed within NFCE project cofinanced<br />

by the European Community Fund through COMPETE – Programa<br />

Operacional Factores de Competitividade.<br />
