Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), which utilizes short-wavelength light, provides excellent visualization of superficial mucosal microvasculature and structures and is widely used in gastrointestinal endoscopic diagnosis. However, NBI alone has inherent limitations in image brightness and color contrast, and therefore may not always provide sufficient visibility or discrimination of lesions.
In contrast, Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI) is a novel image enhancement technology that performs luminance correction and color enhancement. When used in combination with conventional NBI, TXI is expected to further improve lesion visibility and discrimination. This combined approach may be particularly useful for lesions that are difficult to detect, such as flat or early-stage lesions.
The aim of this study was to compare lesion visibility and discrimination between NBI alone and NBI combined with TXI using previously stored gastrointestinal endoscopic images. Through this comparison, we sought to clarify the effectiveness of combining TXI with NBI and to contribute to improved diagnostic performance in clinical endoscopic practice.
