Lexington, MA, May 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of endoscopic imaging and endosurgical solutions, today announced the commercialization of its two novel endoscopic imaging technologies, CAD EYE®, the company’s AI detection system for endoscopic imaging which enables real-time detection of colonic mucosal lesions during colonoscopy procedures, and SCALE EYE®, a first-of-its-kind imaging technology for measuring colonic lesions. Both technologies will be demonstrated at the 2024 Digestive Disease Week (DDW®) annual conference and exhibition in booth 2829, held May 18-21 in Washington, DC.
“Our vision has been laser focused on delivering the best possible endoscopic imaging solutions to meet our customers’ growing needs. Knowing how critical it is for GI physicians to accurately visualize and measure lesions during colonoscopy, we are eager to launch CAD EYE and SCALE EYE,” says Tai Fujita, vice president, Endoscopy Division, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “Our team looks forward to demonstrating how Fujifilm’s state-of-the-art endoscopic technologies are offering outstanding levels of image clarity and performance to industry experts and physicians at the upcoming DDW.”
Since receiving 510(k) clearance for CAD EYE in March, the technology has been installed at five clinical sites in the U.S., including ASCs, community hospitals, and academic medical centers.
“This system expansion from Fujifilm represents an exciting step forward at a time when quality in colonoscopy is a critical focus across the GI community,” said Jason B. Samarasena, MD, gastroenterologist with UCI Health. “Leveraging AI for polyp detection support with CAD EYE, along with the introduction of SCALE EYE, a novel real-time polyp measurement solution – both seamlessly integrated with the innovative ELUXEO platform - Fujifilm is helping to address several key challenges and working alongside endoscopists to elevate quality standards in colonoscopy.”
Two recognized industry leaders will present real-world application as well as clinical findings on Fujifilm’s novel CAD EYE in booth #2829 at the upcoming DDW conference, including:
