EFFICACY OF TEXTURE AND COLOR ENHANCEMENT IMAGING IN ESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY

Abstract

Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) is a novel image-enhanced endoscopy technology that is available in the EVIS X1 endoscopy system. This imaging technology automatically optimizes the “structure,” “color tone,” and “brightness” of white light images, thereby improving lesion detection and the qualitative and quantitative diagnostic performance of endoscopy. However, there are not enough reports of its efficacy in daily clinical practice, and it is unclear when to use TXI. Based on our experience and previous reports, we aim to explore the efficacy of TXI in esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
