Use of linked color imaging for upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy improves the detection of neoplasms in comparison with conventional white-light imaging, according to results from a randomized trial involving more than 1500 patients.
Linked color imaging (LCI) is an advanced illumination technique that combines white light with narrow-band short-wavelength light to enhance the contrast of red and white hues during endoscopy, making it easier to recognize subtle differences in mucosal color.
