Core Tip	Recently, a novel auto-fluorescence imaging (AFI) system with has higher resolution and higher flame rate than those offered by previously used AFI systems has become commercially available in Japan. We evaluated the efficacy of computer-assisted color analysis using the novel AFI system for distinguishing colorectal neoplasia and non-neoplasia and for predicting depth of invasion. The green/red ratios, which were obtained by dividing green color intensity by red color intensity, were significantly different between hyperplastic polyps, adenoma/intramucosal cancer/SM superficial cancer, and SM deep cancer. The novel AFI system was effective in distinguishing non-neoplastic lesions from neoplastic lesions and might have potential to predict the depth of invasion.
