The Efficacy of Linked Color Imaging in the Endoscopic Diagnosis of Barrett’s Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Table 3

The color differences () of BE from the adjacent gastric mucosa in WLI, LCI, and BLI-b modes.

	WLI	LCI	BLI-b	value (WLI vs. LCI)	value (WLI vs. BLI-b)	value (LCI vs. BLI-b)
All BEs,				<0.01	0.31	<0.01
SSBEs,				<0.01	0.49	<0.01
LSBEs,				0.013	0.20	0.028

Wilcoxon signed-rank test, . WLI: white light imaging; LCI: linked color imaging; BLI-b, blue laser imaging bright; BE: Barrett’s esophagus; SSBE: short-segment Barrett’s esophagus; LSBE: long-segment Barrett’s esophagus; SD: standard deviation.
