Statistically significant differences between the three groups were observed. Furthermore, the ΔE* of texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI)‐1 was significantly greater than that of TXI‐2. Box plots show the median (center line) and interquartile range (box). Whiskers extend to the most extreme values within 1.5×IQR, and values beyond the whiskers
