Endoscopy with linked color imaging may help improve adenoma detection, particularly among endoscopists who normally have lower adenoma detection rates, according to study results.
“Linked color imaging [LCI] is a new equipment-based image-enhanced endoscopy [eIEE] designed to enhance slight color differences,” Takeshi Yamamura, MD, PhD, from the department of gastroenterology and hepatology at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan, and colleagues wrote. “LCI enhances the color separation of red blood vessels and white pits, allowing similar visualization to conventional white light imaging [WLI]. Furthermore, LCI is brighter than blue laser imaging [BLI]-bright and is expected to enhance visibility to improve polyp detection.”
