Background and study aims An important therapeutic aim in ulcerative colitis (UC) is endoscopic remission. Although an endoscopic score with white light imaging (WLI) is mainly used to evaluate endoscopic findings, the usefulness of linked color imaging (LCI) has been reported. We evaluated the relationship between LCI and histopathological findings and attempted to establish a new LCI endoscopic evaluation index for UC.
