Abstract
Background
Precut papillotomy is performed in cases of difficult biliary cannulation, but identification of the biliary orifice is difficult. Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) can enhance the structure, color, and brightness. This study compared TXI and white light imaging (WLI) in visibility of biliary orifices.
Methods
We retrospectively examined 20 patients who underwent bile duct cannulation using both WLI and TXI after precut papillotomy at our center between 2021 and 2022. On WLI and TXI images displayed in random order, bile duct orifice on precut-incision surface of each image was independently evaluated by eight evaluators. Single-indication accuracy rate of biliary orifices, visibility score rated on a 4-grade scale, and color difference between the biliary orifice and the surrounding tissue were examined.
Results
The single-indication accuracy rate was higher in TXI compared to WLI (50.6% vs. 35.6%, odds ratio 2.26 [95% CI: 1.32–3.89], p = .003). The time to indicate the biliary orifice was comparable between TXI and WLI (median, 9.7 s [range, 2.6–43] vs. 10.9 s [1.5–64], p = .086). Furthermore, the visibility score was higher in TXI than in WLI (median, 3 [interquartile range, 2–3] vs. 2 [2, 3], p < .001), and the color difference between the biliary orifice and surrounding tissue in TXI was more pronounced than in WLI (median, 22.9 [range, 9.39–55.2] vs. 18.0 [6.48–43.0]; p < .001).
Conclusions
TXI enhanced the color difference and visibility of the biliary orifice after precut and improved single-indication accuracy rate, suggesting that it could be useful for biliary cannulation after precut papillotomy.
