Next Generation Endoscopy System Provides Superior Visualization

This allows healthcare professionals to easily switch between three imaging modes: white light (WL), blue light imaging (BLI) and linked color imaging (LCI). Each light mode utilizes a unique light spectrum to improve the visualization of specific structures in the GI tract.

For example, BLI, which has a shorter wavelength than WL, is better absorbed by hemoglobin; this increased absorption makes it easier to detect blood vessels and differentiate between tissue layers, without having to use a real-time filter. The ELUXEO also offers X135 multi zoom technology to optimally magnify structures and further aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. It also comes equipped with a flexibility adjuster, and has a smaller bending radius to enhance maneuverability and maximize patient comfort.

In addition, a new training module which instructs users on the application of BLI for detecting Barrett’s oesophagus (BO) provides an interactive training tool that enables endoscopists to see how well they detect and delineate early neoplasia, how they perform compared to other experts in the field, and how technologies like BLI may further improve their clinical practice.

“ELUXEO system and its outstanding 4-LED Multi Light technology was developed in cooperation with healthcare experts to achieve optimal results when choosing imaging modes such as BLI”, said Nadja Scheuringer, marketing manager of the endoscopy systems division at Fujifilm. “The new endoscopy series was built on Fujifilm’s heritage and long-standing expertise in medical imaging, and underlines our commitment of being a trusted partner for healthcare professionals in hospitals, clinics, and private practices.”

“During the procedure, the BLI mode is particularly beneficial for making an immediate treatment decision,” said Professor Alessandro Repici, MD, director of the endoscopy unit at the Humanitas Research Hospital (Milan, Italy) one of the first users of the system in clinical practice. “It facilitates the identification of lesions, inflammations and early stages of colorectal cancers, makes diagnosis easier and more precise and thus contributes to improve patient outcomes.”
