消化内镜联动成像技术临床应用建议

联动成像技术(linked color imaging,LCI)是一种新型图像增强内镜技术,目前已在临床上逐步应用。多项研究证实,LCI可通过增加内镜下病变黏膜和正常黏膜的对比度来提高对消化道黏膜病变的诊断准确率。尽管LCI临床应用价值已经得到了国内外临床医生的广泛认可,但是在应用过程中也暴露出技术使用不够规范、术语翻译混乱等问题,不利于后续临床和研究工作的开展。为此,本建议依据当前LCI诊断消化道病变的最近研究和循证医学证据,并参照国内外最新研究成果,由国内消化内镜知名专家集体讨论并编制而成。

Clinical application of linked color imaging in gastrointestinal endoscopy

Linked color imaging (LCI) was a novel image-enhanced endoscopic technology, which has been gradually applied in clinical practice. Several studies have verified that LCI could improve the endoscopic diagnostic accuracy for gastrointestinal mucosal lesions via increasing the contrast between abnormal and normal mucosa. Although the value of LCI in clinical application has already been widely acknowledged by clinicians both at home and abroad, there are still some problems like the improper usage of LCI and the unclear definition of certain LCI terms, which hinders the further clinical application and related research on LCI. Thus, this issue was discussed together by famous experts on gastrointestinal endoscopy in China, and the main points were summarized and written following related clinical guidelines in this field according to the recent research and clinical evidence on the LCI diagnosis for gastrointestinal lesions.
