Colonoscopy and gastroscopy are widely accepted as the gold standards for screening, surveillance, and diagnosis of GI diseases.
However, endoscopy technology has not changed signicantly in decades and misses still occur

In a multi-center tandem study recently published in The Lancet Oncology,
the Fuse™ endoscope system demonstrated the miss rate on adenomas
with Standard, Forward Viewing (SFV) colonoscopes was 41%. Conversely,
when the patient received a colonoscopy with Fuse rst, followed by SFV,
the researchers had an adenoma miss rate of only 7%

. Overall, Fuse
enabled this international team of endoscopists to nd 76% more polyps
after SFV had been used.
How was this achieved? Traditional endoscopes provide endoscopists only
a limited forward view (up to 170 degrees) causing them to potentially miss
adenomas that hide behind folds. Leveraging a proprietary design of three
lenses and three monitors, Fuse Full Spectrum Endoscopy provides a
panoramic eld of view (330° Colonoscope / 245° Gastroscope) thus
enabling endoscopists to see forward and on each side of the colonoscope.
