About the library
The ADEC initiative was established in 2009 under the auspices of OMED/WEO by Dr. Jean-François Rey, Prof. Hisao Tajiri, and Mr. Tetsu Watanabe, with kind help from Prof Hirohumi Niwa and many members of Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society. Its aim was to promote Image-Enhanced Endoscopy and help endoscopists make better use of modern imaging techniques.
The ADEC teaching concept combines short expert lectures on endoscopic classifications with clinical quizzes and a voting system. This allows participants to apply their knowledge and assess their understanding.
With the development of new imaging technologies, the library was updated in November 2026. The latest material includes contributions from leading endoscope manufacturers worldwide, alongside new expert presentations and educational resources.
The library continues to grow thanks to contributions from experts and industry partners. We warmly welcome further scientific, educational, and technical contributions.
