The use of video monitoring and imaging techniques have enhanced endoscopic documentation. Conventional photographic techniques using 35-mm photography produce excellent quality images but are cumbersome for routine use. Electronic images can be recorded on videotape or printed, and they can be stored electronically on computer or disk.
