Texture and color enhancement imaging versus white light imaging for the detection of colorectal adenomas: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and study aims

Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) is a novel optical technology designed to improve visibility during endoscopy by highlighting subtle differences in morphology and color. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether TXI, compared with conventional white light imaging (WLI), can improve important colonoscopy quality indicators, specifically the adenoma detection rate (ADR) and adenomas per colonoscopy (APC).

Patients and methods

We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central for studies comparing TXI to WLI in patients undergoing colonoscopy for any indication. Risk ratios (RRs) and mean differences (MDs) were computed using a random-effects model.

Results

We included 1541 patients from three studies, of
