Table 1 Five-point scale for evaluation of observation with flexible spectral imaging color enhancement
PointEvaluation of observation with FICE
1FICE fails to visualize lesions detectable with conventional images
2FICE is slightly inferior to conventional images
3FICE is comparable to conventional images
4FICE is superior to conventional images
5FICE allows detection of lesions not easily detected with conventional images or clearer visualization of areas poorly defined with conventional images
