Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to an in-depth exploration of imaging studies of gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal diseases comprise a complex and diverse group of diseases of which the diagnosis and treatment require a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. The Special Issue covers the imaging manifestations of various gastrointestinal diseases, including, but not limited to, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, etc. In addition, the Special Issue will also delve into the specific applications of imaging in gastrointestinal diseases, including, but not limited to, CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy, etc.

Overall, we aim to provide an all-round, multi-angle platform for readers to gain an in-depth understanding of the current status and development trends of imaging research on gastrointestinal diseases. We look forward to your participation and contribution to jointly promote the advancement of imaging research in gastrointestinal diseases.

Dr. Takahiro Emoto
Guest Editor

Linked color imaging (LCI) for image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) highlights mucosal color differences. We investigated risk factors associated with mucosal redness of the duodenal bulb using LCI. Consecutive patients were retrospectively selected after their duodenal bulbs were observed via LCI. A symptom questionnaire (Izumo scale) was completed. The LCI of the duodenal bulb was subjectively evaluated on whether redness was present and objectively evaluated based on L* a* b* color values. The clinical characteristics of the 302 study participants were: male/female, 120/182; mean age, 70.9 years. Twenty-one cases (7.0%) were in the redness (+) group. After multiple regression analysis, independent predictors for the red component (a*) of the duodenal bulb using LCI were: age (β = −0.154, p < 0.01), female (β = −0.129, p < 0.05), body mass index (BMI; β = −0.136, p < 0.05), Helicobacter pylori eradication (β = 0.137, p < 0.05), endoscopic gastric mucosal atrophy score (EGAS; β = −0.149, p < 0.05), and constipation-related quality of life (QOL) (β = −0.122, p < 0.05) scores. Lower age, lower BMI, lower EGAS, a constipation-related QOL score, post-H. pylori eradication, and being male were associated with mucosal redness in the duodenal bulb with IEE using LCI.
