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

Table 4

The mean visibility scores of EAC 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 EACs,				<0.01	<0.01	0.773
Expert,				<0.01	<0.01	0.083
Trainee,				<0.01	<0.01	0.111
EACs in SSBE,				<0.01	<0.01	0.09
EACs in LSBE,				<0.01	<0.01	0.013

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