Case: Visible Light in Medical Imaging

A 45-year-old patient undergoes an endoscopy to investigate persistent gastrointestinal symptoms. During the procedure, the endoscope captures high-resolution images of the esophagus and stomach lining using visible light. These images are crucial for diagnosing potential issues such as ulcers or tumors. The images are then stored in the hospital's PACS for further analysis and comparison with previous imaging studies.
