TXI™ technology can enhance brightness selectively in dark areas of endoscopic images and can enhance subtle tissue differences¹ such as slight morphological and/or color changes over conventional enhancement methods including structure enhancement and color enhancement. Comparing TXI™ technology with conventional white light imaging (WLI) for real-world image processing, TXI™ technology can achieve image enhancement with characteristics of WLI appearance while preventing over-enhancement observed in other methods. TXI™ technology has two modes, mode1 and mode 2. Enhancement of brightness and texture is similar in both modes. The color contrast is enhanced with TXI mode 1 whereas TXI mode 2 has a more natural color tone as no color enhancement is performed. Overall, TXI™ technology provides a balance of improving image features important for the physician searching for abnormalities (selective increase in brightness, color separation, and texture enhancement) while minimizing gross changes that may negatively impact familiarity (naturalness).
