Table 5. NBI classification systems of Barrett’s esophagus.
Classification system | Manifestation |
---|---|
Amsterdam Classification | Mucosal pattern: regular (flat, villous/gyrus, other), irregular/disrupted |
Vascular pattern: regular, irregular, normal-appearing long branching vessels | |
Kansas Classification | Mucosal pattern: ridge/villous, circular, irregular/distorted |
Vascular pattern: normal (presence of thin vessels with a uniform branching pattern), abnormal (dilated, corkscrew vessels with increased vascularity and abnormal, non-uniform branching pattern) | |
Anagnostopoulos’ Classification | Mucosal pattern: regular microstructural pattern, irregular microstructural pattern, absent microstructural pattern |
Vascular pattern: regular microvascular pattern, irregular microvascular pattern | |
Barrett’s International NBI Group (BING) Criteria | Mucosal pattern: regular (circular, ridged/villous, tubular), absent, irregular |
Vascular pattern: regular (blood vessels situated regularly along or between mucosal ridges and/or those showing normal, long, branching patterns), irregular (focally or diffusely distributed vessels not following normal architecture of the mucosa) | |
Japan Esophageal Society Barrett’s esophagus (JES-BE) Classification | Mucosal pattern: invisible (flat), visible (pit, non-pit) |
Vascular pattern: invisible (flat), visible (net, non-net) | |
Nottingham Classification | Type A: round pits with regular microvasculature |
Type B: villous/ridge pits with regular microvasculature | |
Type C: absent pits with regular microvasculature | |
Type D: distorted pits with irregular microvasculature | |
Classification of Capillary and Pit Pattern (CP Classification) | Type I: uniform branches or vine-like pattern with a clear shape that can be traced smoothly |
Type II: coiled or spiral pattern with a nonuniform shape that cannot be traced sufficiently and with increased vascularity |
