Linked color imaging (LCI) principle. After reallocating the acquired color information on a mucosal surface or blood vessel by simultaneously irradiating narrow-band short wavelength light and white light, LCI both expands and reduces color information so that a reddish color becomes redder and a whitish color becomes whiter. R. red; G, green; B, blue. a White light imaging. b LCI.
