16.07.2024 09:00:08 - dpa-AFX: GNW-Adhoc: FUJIFILM Healthcare Europe announces revolutionary Detective Flow Imaging (DFI) technology compatibility with mainstream EG-580UT endoscope
RATINGEN, Germany, July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FUJIFILM Healthcare Europe
GmbH is pleased to announce that the Detective Flow Imaging feature (DFI) of the
premium ARIETTA 850 FF Endo ultrasound system is now available via update with
our mainstream endoscope, the EG-580UT. This update allows even more physicians
to experience clarity in motion during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
The revolutionary DFI technology in the ARIETTA 850 FF Endo system is now
compatible with our mainstream EG-580UT ultrasound endoscope. This compatibility
allows physicians to experience the benefits of DFI technology firsthand. The
EG-580UT endoscope features a small bending radius and short rigid section,
enabling easy access to targeted areas. Its wide puncture range enables Fine
Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNA) from various positions, providing broader
accessibility. The 40 endoscopic field gives an
optimal luminal view during insertion, and its powerful 150 up-angulation makes
it suitable for both observation and therapeutic procedures.
A recent study highlighted the advantage of DFI technology, stating, "DFI-EUS
allows the evaluation of vascularization patterns of pancreatic tumors similar
to those obtained by CEH-EUS, with a similar diagnostic yield, but without
requiring the use of intravenous contrasts."(1)
The availability of DFI technology with the mainstream EG-580UT endoscope allows
physicians to benefit from the clarity and advanced diagnostic capabilities of
DFI during endoscopic procedures. This update represents our commitment to
continuously improving patient outcomes and enhancing the capabilities of our
endoscopic ultrasound systems.
