Computer-assisted Diagnosis System Based on Linked Colour Imaging

Linked color imaging (LCI)，a new endoscopy modality, creates clear and bright images by using short wavelength narrow band laser light. LCI can make red area appear redder and white areas appear whiter. Thus, it may be possible to distinguish adenoma and non-adenoma polyps based on color evaluation of LCI images. This study aimed to assess the correlation between histology results and LCI images. Moreover, the investigators conducted a pilot study to explore the clinical potential of LCI to distinguish adenoma and non-adenoma polyps and the accuracy of an automatic computer-aided diagnosis system using LCI imagine to predict histology polyps when compared to human experts physicians.
