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° front oblique view and
140° 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.
