Abstract
ABSTRACT
Objectives
Colonoscopy is a reliable technique for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of adenomas and early cancer. Image‐enhanced endoscopy (IEE) is important for detecting colorectal lesions. Texture and color‐enhancement imaging (TXI) has recently emerged as a novel modality for IEE. Thus, TXI operates in two modes: mode 1 (TXI1) enhances the structure, color, and brightness, whereas mode 2 (TXI2) does not. We have previously reported the detection of colorectal adenomas using TXI. We aimed to determine the detection yields of TXI1 and TXI2 using the data from our previous study.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the colonoscopy data from three institutions between August 2020 and January 2021. The patients were classified into two groups: TXI1 and TXI2. The mean number of adenomas detected per procedure (MAP), adenoma detection rate (ADR), and flat adenoma detection rate (FDR) were compared between groups.
Results
The evaluations (95% confidence intervals) for the TXI1 versus TXI2 groups were as follows: MAP, 1.5 (1.3–1.7) versus 1.5 (1.3–1.7); ADR, 56.8% (47.3–65.9) versus 59.7% (50.3–68.6); and FDR, 68.6% (59.5–76.9) versus 63.9% (54.6–72.5), with no statistically significant differences between the groups.
Conclusion
The detection rates of colorectal lesions were comparable between the TXI1 and TXI2 groups.
