Usefulness of texture and color enhancement imaging in peroral pancreatoscopy

Abstract

Tanisaka and colleagues report the usefulness of texture and color enhancement imaging provided by a new-generation image-enhanced endoscopy system in a patient with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm who had undergone peroral pancreatoscopy. Texture and color enhancement imaging clearly showed structural changes of the lesion and improved the diagnostic quality of peroral pancreatoscopy.
