Figure 3 Overview, detailed, and near-focus images of a neoplastic lesion in BE with (A, C, and E) WLE and (B, D, and F) NBI. The red lines indicate the border of the vascular and mucosal abnormalities based on the NBI appearance, and the blue lines illustrate the extension of the neoplastic lesion based on the mucosal relief, which can be better appreciated with NBI compared with WLE.

Supplementary Figure 2 Three examples of neoplastic lesions in BE with (A, C, and E) WLE and (B, D, and F) AFI. In C and D, the lesion is hard to detect with WLE but can be clearly appreciated with AFI. In E and F, the lesion is located at the gastric folds, which makes the interpretation of AFI difficult, resulting in high false-positive rates for AFI.

Supplementary Figure 3 Images of an early neoplastic lesion in BE that is difficult to appreciate when the esophagus is fully inflated. (A and B) By alternating inflation and suction, the lesion becomes more apparent. (C and D) By looking in retroflex, lesions at the distal esophagus may be detected that would have been missed when only antegrade inspection would have been performed.

Supplementary Figure 4 NBI not only facilitates the evaluation of the mucosal and vascular patterns but also enhances visualization of the mucosal relief, a distinct and recognizable feature of NBI (C, F, J, and K). Although the mucosal and vascular patterns may be regular, the relief can be used to assess the extension of the lesion to direct the delineation (G) before endoscopic resection (D, H, and L).
