Brief Summary

Texture and Colour Enhancement Imaging (TXI) improves texture, brightness, and colour in white-light endoscopy to highlight subtle tissue differences. Now available through the EVIS X1 system, early evidence suggests potential value in IBD. Studies show that TXI may help predict ulcerative colitis relapse and performs comparably to dye chromoendoscopy in detecting lesions, though no randomised data exist for dysplasia detection in IBD surveillance. We therefore propose a randomised paired study comparing TXI with high-definition white-light endoscopy for dysplasia detection in IBD surveillance.

Detailed Description

Texture and colour enhancement imaging (TXI) is designed to enhance texture, brightness and colour in white light in order to clearly define subtle tissue differences. This has been shown to enhance subtle tissue differences (20). This technology has recently become available in routine clinical practice with introduction of the EVIS X1 system (Olympus). Some promising data about the use of TXI in IBD are emerging. In a prospective observational study, 146 UC patients in endoscopic remission were evaluated with WLE and TXI. Patients with accentuated redness and poor visibility of deep vessels at TXI had significantly lower UC relapse-free rates than patients with no redness or accentuated redness alone, suggesting a possible role of TXI in guiding treatment intensification (21). In a small study of 16 IBD patients undergoing surveillance colonoscopy, TXI missed no lesions detected by subsequent dye chromoendoscopy (22). There are no randomised data regarding the utility of TXI for detection of dysplasia in colonoscopy IBD surveillance. We propose to undertake a randomised paired design study of Texture and Colour Enhancement Imaging (TXI) versus high-definition white light endoscopy for dysplasia detection in IBD surveillance.
