Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging Increases Color Changes and Improves Visibility for Squamous Cell Carcinoma Suspicious Lesions in the Pharynx and Esophagus

Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) has been developed as an image-enhanced endoscopy technology. TXI mode2 enhances texture and brightness, and TXI mode1 also enhances color. This study aims to assess the color differences in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) suspicious lesions in the pharynx a...
