Abstract:
Upper digestive tract diseases include Barrett's esophagus, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, Helicobacter pylori infection, gastric cancer, etc. Although white light imaging, blue laser imaging and narrow-band imaging have a certain ability to identify these upper digestive tract lesions, however, there are still some missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of early lesions. Linked color imaging (LCI) could improve the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of upper digestive tract lesions through the unique color enhancement technology of endoscopic images. This article reviewed the research progress of LCI in endoscopic diagnosis of upper digestive tract lesions.
