Background.
The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of linked color imaging (LCI) in diagnosing Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).
Methods.
A total of 112 and 12 consecutive patients with BE and EAC were analyzed.
The visibility scores of BE and EAC ranging from 4 (excellent visibility) to 0 (not detectable) were evaluated by three trainees and three experts using white light imaging (WLI), LCI mode, and blue laser imaging bright (BLI-b) mode.
In addition, L∗a∗b∗ color values and color differences (ΔE∗) were evaluated using the CIELAB color space system.
Results.
The visibility score of the BE in LCI mode (2.94±1.32) was significantly higher than those in WLI (2.46±1.48) and BLI-b mode (2.35±1.46) (p<0.01).
The color difference (ΔE∗) from the adjacent gastric mucosa in LCI mode (17.11±8.53) was significantly higher than those in other modes (12.52±9.37 in WLI and 11.96±6.59 in BLI-b mode, p<0.01).
The visibility scores of EAC in LCI mode (2.56±1.47) and BLI-b mode (2.51±1.28) were significantly higher than that in WLI (1.64±1.46) (p<0.01).
The color difference (ΔE∗) from the adjacent normal Barrett’s mucosa in LCI mode (19.96±7.97) was significantly higher than that in WLI (12.95±11.86) (p=0.03).
Conclusion.
The present findings suggest that LCI increases the visibility of BE and EAC and contributes to the improvement of the detection of these lesions.
