Smartphone-based endoscopy was found to be cheaper, quicker to set up, and to have marginally better image quality when transmitted via messaging than tower-based endoscopy, although the clinical significance of these visual differences are unknown. If appropriate for their needs, clinicians should consider smartphone-based endoscopy as a viable option for viewing and collaborating on endoscopic images from a fiberoptic endoscope.
