We report two cases of the comparison of diagnosis made with linked color imaging (LCI) and conventional white-light imaging (WLI) on the same patients. In case 1, a 75-year-old man in whom right upper lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed due to lung cancer had signs of bronchitis on postoperative day 8. The LCI demonstrated slight inflammatory changes that were not detectable with the conventional WLI on the tracheal wall. In case 2, in a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, the bronchial wall was checked to confirm the extent of the tumour. The submucosal vascularity and tumour margin on the bronchial mucosa were better visible on LCI than on WLI. We could easily detect the mucosal inflammatory lesion and the malignant lesion with LCI in comparison with conventional WLI. Both mucosal inflammatory and malignant lesions were better visible with LCI in comparison to WLI.
我们报告了两例针对同一患者使用联动彩色成像（LCI）和传统白光成像（WLI）进行诊断比较的病例。病例1中，一名75岁男性因肺癌接受了右上叶切除及纵隔淋巴结清扫术，术后第8天出现支气管炎迹象。LCI显示气管壁有轻微炎症变化，而传统WLI未检测到这些变化。病例2中，一名61岁女性被诊断为腺样囊性癌，检查支气管壁以确认肿瘤范围。与WLI相比，LCI能更清晰地显示支气管黏膜下的血管分布及肿瘤边缘。与传统WLI相比，使用LCI我们能够轻松检测到黏膜炎症病变和恶性病变。与WLI相比，LCI能更清晰地显示黏膜炎症和恶性病变。
