Background and Aims Linked-color imaging (LCI) is a new technology that emphasizes changes in mucosal color by providing clearer and brighter images, thus allowing red and white areas to be visualized more clearly. We investigated whether LCI increases the detection of colorectal adenomas compared with white-light imaging (WLI) and blue-laser imaging (BLI)-bright. Methods Consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy were randomized (1:1:1) into examination by WLI, BLI-bright, or LCI during withdrawal of the colonoscope. The adenoma detection rate (ADR), mean number of adenomas per patient, and withdrawal time were evaluated. The lesions were evaluated according to size, morphology, location, and histology. Results A total of 379 patients were randomized, and 412 adenomas were detected. The ADR was 43.2%, 54.0%, and 56.9% for WLI, BLI-bright, and LCI, respectively, and was significantly higher in the LCI group than in the WLI group (P = .03). No significant difference was observed between LCI and BLI-bright (P = .71) or BLI-bright and WLI (P = .09). The mean number of adenomas per patient was 0.82, 1.06, and 1.38 for WLI, BLI-bright, and LCI, respectively, with a significant difference between LCI and WLI (P = .03). Withdrawal time did not differ among the groups. A total of 102 adenomas were detected by WLI, 131 by BLI-bright, and 179 by LCI. LCI provided a higher rate of detection of adenomas ≤5 mm in size than WLI (P = .02), with a borderline significance for a higher detection of sessile serrated adenomas (P = .05). Nonpolypoid adenomas were more commonly located in the right colon segment and polypoid adenomas in the left colon segment, with a significant difference only between BLI-bright (P < .01) and LCI (P = .03). Conclusions Our findings show that LCI increases the detection of colorectal adenomas during colonoscopy. (Clinical trial registration number: RBR-9xg6dx.)
