{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>Few studies have evaluated the adenoma detection rate (ADR) of colonoscopy with texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI), a novel image-enhancing technology. This study compares the detection of colorectal polyps using TXI to that using white light imaging (WLI).<BR><B>METHODS: </B>This single-center retrospective study used propensity-matched scoring based on the patients' baseline characteristics (age, sex, indication, bowel preparation, endoscopist, colonoscope type, and withdrawal time) to compare the results of patients who underwent chromoendoscopy using WLI or TXI at the Toyoshima Endoscopy Clinic. The differences in polyp detection rates and the mean number of detected polyps per colonoscopy were determined between the TXI and WLI groups.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>After propensity score matching, 1970 patients were enrolled into each imaging modality group. The mean patient age was 57.2 ± 12.5 years, and 44.5% of the cohort were men. The ADR was higher in the TXI group than in the WLI group (55.0% vs 49.4%, odds ratio: 1.25). High-risk ADR were more common in the TXI group than in the WLI group (17.6% vs 12.8%; OR: 1.45). The mean number of adenomas per colonoscopy (APC) was higher in the TXI group than in the WLI group (1.187 vs 0.943, OR: 1.12). APC with a flat morphology (1.093 vs 0.848, OR: 1.14) and APC of <6 mm (0.992 vs 0.757, OR: 1.16) were higher in the TXI group than in the WLI group.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Compared to WLI, TXI improved the ADR in patients who underwent chromoendoscopy based on actual clinical data.
