Normedia CD Gastro is currently available in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

The correct description and classification of findings is not only indispensable in digestive endoscopy, but is also an essential foundation for interpretation and diagnosis in all areas of medicine. This was the primary motivation for the development of a specifically descriptive and worldwide standardized endoscopic terminology. The book "Terminology and Definitions in Digestive Endoscopy" was published in 13 languages.

This terminology forms the basis for the Normedia CD-Gastro CD-ROM which has been authored by an international team of distinguished gastroenterologists and endoscopists. It combines the text with more than 1000 pictures and video sequences of endoscopic findings and procedures complemented by schematic drawings.

This CD-ROM is continuously updated since its first launch in 1996. It thus provides the endoscopist in clinical practice with the possibility to easily and quickly access an enormous amount of reference data for classification of findings and quality assurance. Also, students of medicine as well as the practising physicians will find this CD-ROM to be an ideal tool for their continuous medical education.
