JNET Classification (Magnifying NBI Colorectal)

JNET classification (Japan NBI Expert Team; Sano 2016) of a colorectal lesion, read on magnifying narrow-band imaging by vessel pattern and surface pattern.

Example

JNET type
2B — irregular vessels and surface (high-grade / shallow submucosal)

Result: JNET type 2B: irregular vessels and surface; high-grade intramucosal neoplasia / shallow submucosal invasive cancer.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Type 1
Invisible vessels; regular dark/white spots or similar to normal mucosa. Hyperplastic / sessile-serrated polyp (non-neoplastic).
Type 2A
Regular-caliber vessels, regular distribution; regular surface. Low-grade intramucosal neoplasia (adenoma).
Type 2B
Variable-caliber vessels, irregular distribution; irregular or obscure surface. High-grade intramucosal neoplasia / shallow submucosal invasive cancer.
Type 3
Loose vessel areas, interruption of thick vessels; amorphous surface. Deep submucosal invasive cancer.
