Objective Endoscopic Analysis with Linked Color Imaging regarding Gastric Mucosal Atrophy: A Pilot Study

Figure 1

Endoscopic images obtained with WLI and LCI. LCI was developed to enhance colors similar to those of the mucosa. Whereas WLI indicated only erosion, LCI revealed also inflammation, which appeared as redness around the erosion site. Inflammation could be detected on LCI because it appeared redder, while the background mucosa appeared whiter on LCI than on WLI.
