The system was developed to improve visualization for gastrointestinal, colorectal and endoscopy procedures, according to a July 8 news release. It detects hemoglobin oxygen saturation levels in tissue to help surgeons identify potentially ischemic tissue and prevent tissue necrosis.

“The prognosis is poor for tissue necrosis resulting from GI procedural complications and the reduction in mortality relies on early detection and intervention,” Taisuke Fujita, vice president of endoscopy said. “We’re thrilled to have evolved our image enhancement capabilities to address this deadly complication.”

In June Fujifilm launched its Systems Integration platform for endoscopies.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
