    Fujifilm's Cad Eye®: Revolutionizing Colorectal Cancer Screening with AI

    2024-03-20

    In a significant stride forward for gastrointestinal healthcare, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation has obtained 510(k) clearance for CAD EYE®, its groundbreaking AI-powered endoscopic imaging technology. This innovative system, designed to enhance the detection of colonic mucosal lesions such as polyps and adenomas during colonoscopy procedures, promises to revolutionize the landscape of colorectal cancer screening and prevention.

    CAD EYE® represents the culmination of Fujifilm's commitment to advancing medical imaging technology. Developed through deep learning technology at Fujifilm's global AI technology center in Tokyo, this system integrates seamlessly with the ELUXEO® Endoscopic Imaging System, delivering real-time detection capabilities to endoscopists. By leveraging AI image processing, CAD EYE® is capable of identifying lesions that may be challenging to detect with conventional methods, including flat lesions and those at the periphery of the endoscopic view.

    One of the most promising features of CAD EYE® is its ability to provide immediate alerts to physicians upon detecting suspicious polyps. Through visual cues overlaid on clinical images, including a "Detection Box" and a "Visual Assist Circle," the system ensures that no potentially harmful lesions are overlooked. This functionality not only enhances the precision of colonoscopy procedures but also streamlines the workflow of endoscopists, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

    Clinical studies have demonstrated the remarkable efficacy of CAD EYE® in improving adenoma detection rates during screening and surveillance colonoscopies. Compared to conventional high-definition colonoscopy, CAD EYE® detects significantly more adenomas without increasing procedure time. Moreover, it has been shown to detect colorectal neoplastic lesions at a level comparable to that of expert endoscopists, underscoring its potential to augment the skills of healthcare providers and reduce the risk of missed diagnoses.

    Dr. Sravanthi Parasa, a leading gastroenterologist at Swedish Medical Center, emphasizes the transformative impact of CAD EYE® on patient care and safety. By enabling early detection of precancerous lesions and minimizing the risk of missed diagnoses, this innovative technology empowers healthcare providers to safeguard patient health and advance the fight against colorectal cancer.

    With its impending commercial availability in spring 2024, CAD EYE® is poised to redefine standards of care in colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis. As Fujifilm continues to push the boundaries of medical imaging innovation, the potential for CAD EYE® to improve patient outcomes and save lives is truly profound.

    Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation is at the forefront of medical imaging technology, offering a comprehensive range of solutions for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. With a commitment to innovation and clinical excellence, Fujifilm is dedicated to enhancing the lives of patients worldwide through cutting-edge medical imaging and AI initiatives.
