Endoscopy is a medical procedure in which an instrument called endoscope is passed into a specific organ like the esophagus or intestine or urinary bladder to examine the inner surface of that organ.
The most common type of endoscopy is upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGI), which is done to find out problems related to upper intestine (Esophagus, Stomach, Duodenum).
Endoscope contains a fiberoptic camera that magnifies the image of the particular area on the video screen to be viewed by the doctor. Endoscope, unlike most other medical imaging device is directly pushed inside the organ.
