Currently, imaging technologies that provide detailed contrast enhancement of the mucosa and blood vessels are widely used in many human medical specialties. The major focus of current research and development in the field of endoscopic imaging technologies is on the advancement of image‐enhanced endoscopy (IEE) systems (i‐SCAN, NBI, and IMAGE1 S^TM). The IMAGE 1 S^TM (KARL STORZ Tuttlingen, Germany) is a versatile digital full HD video system, providing specific color rendering of the acquired broad visible spectrum within the HD‐camera system. Since spectral separation is obtained within the camera system and amplified by adapted color processing algorithms, the IMAGE 1 S^TM does not require a dedicated narrow band light source and operates with a standard light source using the whole spectrum of light information. Therefore, this system enhances the appearance of the mucosal surface structures and subepithelial vasculature by selected wavelengths of light providing five different predefined spectral ranges in addition to the standard mode with white light: CLARA, CLARA + CHROMA, CHROMA, SPECTRA A, SPECTRA B. The KARL STORZ IMAGE 1 S system was awarded the Innovation of the Year by EAES – European Association for Endoscopic Surgery, in 2014 when the product was introduced, becoming a standard since then, for modern laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery.
