Summary Conclusion

• NBI-positive legions coincided with those with
  ulcers or non-ulcer lesions exhibiting
  hemorrhages by hydrodistension recognized during
  conventional cystoscopy.
• NBI-positive lesions coincided with those with
  high expression of angiogenic factors.

• NBI system to be a revolutionary method to detect
  bladder lesions associated with IC/PBS without
  hydrodistension in outpatients who complain of
  pelvic pain, urinary frequency and persistent
  urge to void.
