Enlarged images of the area denoted with red squares are provided for each group. a group S: the endoscopist could not follow the outline (yellow line) of the villi depicted in the white or indigo carmine scattering image at all. Group M: the same as group S. b group M: the number of evaluators following the line was more than group S and less than group N. c group N: the endoscopist could clearly follow the outline (yellow line) of the villi depicted in the white or indigo carmine scattering image
