Texture and Color Enhanced Imaging in the Diagnosis of Colonic Neoplasia: A Systematic Review and Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Image enhanced endoscopy (IEE) can augment the detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its precursor lesions, potentially reducing incidence and mortality. Early data on texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) support its use for neoplasia screening. This study aimed to systematically review and perform a meta-analysis to assess the impact of TXI on colonic adenoma detection.

Methods

The systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines. Studies comparing TXI with white light imaging (WLI) were eligible for inclusion. Searches were conducted through relevant databases and major conferences up to July 1, 2024. The primary outcome was ADR, with secondary outcomes including polyp detection rate (PDR), mean number of adenomas per patient (MAP), and
