Abstract

Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an optical filter technology that improves the visibility of capillaries, veins and other subtle tissue structures, by narrowing the bandwidth of spectral transmittance using optical filters. In this short communication, we want to share our preliminary experience in assisted reproductive technology patients where we had used NBI hysteroscopy for the evaluation of uterine cavity abnormalities who had previous IVF failure.
