Background And Aims: Endoscopic remission is known to be defined as a Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) of ≤1 in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, some individuals experience relapse even after showing endoscopic remission under white-light imaging (WLI), and no tool exists that can detect these individuals. The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness of texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) in the assessment of inflammation in patients with UC.
Methods: This was a prospective, single-arm, observational study conducted at a university hospital. From January 2021 to December 2021, 146 UC patients with endoscopic remission were enrolled. Images were evaluated by WLI, TXI, and pathologic evaluation, followed by prognostic studies. The primary endpoint of the study was the cumulative relapse of UC in each TXI score. The secondary endpoints were the association between TXI and pathologic scores, predictors of relapse, and interobserver agreement between the MES and TXI scores.
Results: Patients with TXI score 2 had significantly lower UC relapse-free rates than did those with TXI scores 0-1 (log-rank test, P < .01). When pathologic remission was defined as Matts grade ≤2, the rate of pathologic remission decreased significantly with higher TXI scores (P = .01). In multivariate analysis, TXI score 2 was the only risk factor for UC relapse (P < .01; hazard ratio, 4.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.72-10.04). Interobserver agreement on the TXI score was good (κ = 0.597-0.823).
Conclusion: TXI can be used to identify populations with poor prognosis in MES 1, for whom treatment intensification has been controversial.

Background: Pit pattern diagnosis using crystal violet staining for colorectal tumors is useful for qualitative and depth diagnosis. However, due to its reported carcinogenic potential, the use of crystal violet has been restricted. This study was aimed at investigating the efficacy of texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) magnification in pit pattern diagnosis.

Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) may improve the visibility of gastric tumors and allow their early detection. However, few reports have examined the utility of TXI. Between June 2021 and October 2022, 56 gastric tumors in 51 patients undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection at Fukuchiyama City Hospital were evaluated preoperatively using conventional white light imaging (WLI), narrow-band imaging (NBI), and TXI modes 1 and 2.

Background And Aim: Few studies have evaluated the adenoma detection rate (ADR) of colonoscopy with texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI), a novel image-enhancing technology. This study compares the detection of colorectal polyps using TXI to that using white light imaging (WLI).
Methods: This single-center retrospective study used propensity-matched scoring based on the patients' baseline characteristics (age, sex, indication, bowel preparation, endoscopist, colonoscope type, and withdrawal time) to compare the results of patients who underwent chromoendoscopy using WLI or TXI at the Toyoshima Endoscopy Clinic.

Article Synopsis
- Precut papillotomy can be challenging due to difficulty identifying biliary orifices; this study investigates the effectiveness of Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI) compared to traditional White Light Imaging (WLI) for this purpose.
- The study analyzed 20 patients who had undergone bile duct cannulation, assessing how well evaluators could identify biliary orifices using both TXI and WLI in randomized image presentations.
- Results indicated that TXI offered better accuracy (50.6% vs. 35.6%), higher visibility scores, and greater color differentiation from surrounding tissue compared to WLI, suggesting TXI is a valuable tool for improving biliary cannulation outcomes.
Objective: A newly launched endoscopy system (EVIS X1, CV-1500; Olympus) is equipped with texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI). We aimed to investigate the efficacy of TXI for the visibility and diagnostic accuracy of non-polypoid colorectal lesions.
Methods: We examined 100 non-polypoid lesions in 42 patients from the same position, angle, and distance of the view in three modes: white light imaging (WLI), narrow-band imaging (NBI), and TXI.
