We examined the clinical significance of adaptive index of hemoglobin (IHb) color enhancement (color enhancement) for the detection of superficial type colorectal tumors. In this prospective study, the detection rate of superficial type tumors with colonoscopic examination was significantly higher in the color enhancement group than in the control group. The colonoscopic findings made more distinct by color enhancement, leading to tumor detection, were tumor redness and interrupted vascular networks around the tumor. These results demonstrate that color enhancement is effective for the detection and diagnosis of superficial type colorectal tumors.
