Surface and Tone Enhancement digital imaging mode provides real-
time virtual chromoendoscopy for better views of mucosal and vas-
cular patterns, while the i-scan OE optical filter better displays sur-
face structures of blood vessels, glandular ducts and mucosal mem-
branes at a higher contrast than standard white-light images. The
processor seamlessly switches between the optical and digital mode,
giving doctors more insight when diagnosing problems in a patient's
GI tract.
EMcision | Habib EUS RFA
Doctors can cauterize and
coagulate lesions in the
pancreas and other soft-
tissue organs in a mini-
mally invasive manner
with this radiofrequency
ablation catheter. The
EMcision monopolar
catheter, the first of its
kind in the United States,
is inserted using an endo-
scope and FNA needle. It
works with a range of
commonly available gen-
erators, and because you don't need a host of new capital equipment,
you can easily add the procedure to your facility, says a company rep.
