1) Data on file with Olympus (DC00489968)
Intended use: This instrument is intended to be used with an Olympus video system center, light source, documentation equipment, monitor, EndoTherapy accessories (such as a biopsy forceps), and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery.
Scope: TJF-Q290V
Organ: Ampulla of Vater
Patient information: 72-year-old, Female
Medical history: No past medical history
Case Video
This video shows the usefulness of an image enhanced endoscopy system in identifying a regular papilla in a patient with suspected ampullary mass on computed tomography (CT) scan. Under white-light imaging (WLI), regular papilla with classic appearance was observed. Under narrow-band imaging™ (NBI™ technology), covering folds and papillary orifices were more apparent. TXI™ technology observation mode 2 enhanced the anatomical features, while maintaining visual naturalness and being less disturbed from bile acids similar to WLI1. After forceps biopsy, RDI™ technology observation mode 1 supported easy identification of the hemostatic condition of ampulla of Vater, making it easy to determine whether there is a bleeding point that requires endoscopic hemostasis1. Even if the papilla appears normal, the application of TXI™ and RDI™ technology modes can help to accurately assess the anatomical structure and abnormality of the ampulla of the Vater.

Overall Comment
This case demonstrates that using TXI™ and RDI™ technologies observation modes for examining the ampulla of Vater, even when it appears normal, can enhance visualization and support safe biopsy sampling by maintaining distance from the pancreatic duct. Compared to NBI™ technology observation, TXI™ technology observation is less affected by bile acid interference and enhances color tone differences on the mucosal surface, supporting anatomical evaluations, including the frenulum, circular fold, and polypoid nodules of the papillary orifice.1 Additionally, RDI technology effectively highlights hemostatic status and potential bleeding points, aiding in the assessment of whether endoscopic hemostasis is necessary after tissue sampling1.
