FUJIFILM Europe GmbH

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.
