“…The ELUXEO system was developed to precisely control the emission intensity ratio of LED illumination in the four colors of blue-violet, blue, green, and red, generate white light and short-wavelength narrow-band light, and to obtain high-quality images equivalent to LASEREO. LED-LCI is expected to have the same diagnostic performance as conventional LCI (Laser-LCI) [ 28 , 29 ]. LCI can be said to be a new diagnostic method for gastric cancer screening that utilizes higher color contrast images to distinguish tumors from the surrounding mucosa.…”

“…In comparison with BLI, LCI is associated with improved visibility of EGC, regardless of the endoscopist’s experience [ 53 , 55 , 57 , 58 , 63 , 67 ], and several studies have reported its advantage of improving the visibility of malignant gastrointestinal lesions with higher scores than WLI. LED-based LCI endoscopy has also been reported to be effective in detecting EGC [ 28 , 29 ]. However, BLI is superior to LCI in the detection of abnormal findings in the microstructure and microvascular system of the gastric cancer due to its magnified views.…”

Screening endoscopy has advanced to facilitate improvements in the detection and prognosis of gastric cancer. However, most early gastric cancers (EGCs) have subtle morphological or color features that are difficult to detect by white-light imaging (WLI); thus, even well-trained endoscopists can miss EGC when using this conventional endoscopic approach. This review summarizes the current and future status of linked color imaging (LCI), a new image-enhancing endoscopy (IEE) method, for gastric screening. LCI has been shown to produce bright images even at a distant view and provide excellent visibility of gastric cancer due to high color contrast relative to the surrounding tissue. LCI delineates EGC as orange-red and intestinal metaplasia as purple, regardless of a history of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication, and contributes to the detection of superficial EGC. Moreover, LCI assists in the determination of Hp infection status, which is closely related to the risk of developing gastric cancer. Transnasal endoscopy (ultra-thin) using LCI is also useful for identifying gastric neoplastic lesions. Recently, several prospective studies have demonstrated that LCI has a higher detection ratio for gastric cancer than WLI. We believe that LCI should be used in routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopies.

“…Additionally, when examined using LCI, the vascular permeation of the atrophic border and the atrophic region becomes more discernible compared to observations made with WLI [21]. It has also been documented that endoscopic procedures utilizing LED for LCI are proficient in the early identification of EGC [22]. The color difference value with LCI was significantly higher, being more than twice that of WLI, and this difference appeared to be similar in cases of accompanying HP infection or intestinal metaplasia.…”

Linked color imaging (LCI), distinct from the traditional red emphasis in endoscopic imaging, utilizes narrow-band light and red signal processing to enhance contrast in mucosal color. Redness and erosion triggered by inflammation are recognized as typical signs of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. Notably, these visual cues are readily identifiable through the LCI mode. Leveraging the LCI observation mode significantly improves the accuracy of diagnosing gastritis associated with HP, providing accurate diagnostic performance and precise localization. LCI demonstrates superior diagnostic accuracy in detecting HP infections, including their precise localization, when compared to traditional white light endoscopy. It also holds promise for enhancing the precision of sampling for HP cultures and determining antibiotic susceptibility. Integrating LCI with the Kyoto Classification of Gastritis may enhance the endoscopic diagnosis and confirmation of HP infection eradication, subsequently augmenting the capacity of gastrointestinal endoscopists and general practitioners to identify HP infections through endoscopic imagery.
