White-light versus red dichromatic imaging. a Clear endoscopic view could not be obtained with white-light imaging due to massive post-endoscopic sphincterotomy bleeding and hematoma. b After switching to red dichromatic imaging, the accumulated residual blood became inconspicuous, and the active blood stream (arrow) could be visualized in darker yellow, which enabled the identification of the bleeding point.
