WLI provides a direct image of the vessel lumen and its anatomical shape. It is suitable for observation and documentation of intravascular therapies. NBI images are more distinct and have more contrast. This helps to detect even small defects or changes on the inner vessel wall that could provide additional information and lead to more precise and personalised therapies.
