Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a precancerous lesion of the stomach, which severely affects human life and health. Currently, a variety of endoscopic techniques are used to screen/evaluate GIM. Traditional white-light endoscopy (WLE) and acetic-acid chromoendoscopy combined with magnifying endoscopy (ME-AAC) are the interventions of choice due to their diagnostic efficacy for GIM. Optical-enhanced magnifying endoscopy (ME-OE) is a new virtual chromoendoscopy technique to identify GIM, which combines bandwidth-limited light and image enhancement processing technology to enhance the detection of mucosal and vascular details. We hypothesized that ME-OE is superior to WLE and ME-AAC in the evaluation of GIM.
