Endoscopy departments generate significant volumes of images. Historically, however, those images may have been stored within specialty-specific systems.

For decades, breast cancer has largely been viewed as a disease associated with aging. And while age remains one of the most significant risk factors, something concerning is happening: breast cancer incidence is rising among younger women. In fact, recent data from the CDC Breast Cancer Report show that breast cancer rates among women under 45 have risen an average of 0.7% per year from 2001 to 2022, with a sharper increase of 1.1% per year between 2012 and 2022.

The obvious question is: Why?

In our previous blog, “Cloud Strategy for Enterprise Imaging: Architecture Before Adoption,” we explored cloud strategy and shared practical considerations for healthcare organizations adopting cloud capabilities in ways that support […]

The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) Scientific Sessions 2026 highlighted a clear vision for the future of cardiovascular imaging – one defined by artificial intelligence (AI), multimodality integration, enterprise imaging and data-driven clinical decision making. 

The end of the year is always an exciting time to work in enterprise imaging. RSNA, the biggest radiology tradeshow of the year, kicks off right after the last turkey day football game ends. Then, in the blink of an eye, the holidays and year are coming to an end, and you’re envisioning what new technology innovations the next calendar year will bring; Will 2021 be the year of remote reading? Will artificial intelligence (AI) become a new collaborative partner to radiologist workflow? Will imaging interoperability finally become a universal reality? At Fujifilm, some of our greatest enterprise imaging innovations […]

In 2024, nearly two-thirds of healthcare organizations surveyed about their cloud roadmap said they were either using the cloud for diagnostic image viewing and/or storageor would likely start using the […]

What’s driving change in EUS: Part 2

The image quality is excellent, the technology is very easy to use, and the patients really like the speed as well as the comfort. They like that they can get in and out in just a few minutes… [The ASPIRE Cristalle with DBT] makes me more confident as a radiologist.

The cesium detectors in Fujifilm’s FDR Go DR system helped the hospital achieve dose reductions of more than 50% over computed radiography techniques with equivalent or improved image quality

We have actually reduced radiation by 40 percent compared with CR. Wayne Couture, Director of Imaging and Cardiopulmonary Services at Androscoggin Valley Hospital.

After checking various vendors, the hospital eventually went with the FDR Go from FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. We were pleasantly surprised that our biggest [dose] reduction was from FDR Go.

It was taking us from 15 to 30 minutes, with an average of 21 minutes to do CR for scoliosis images. Once the technologists became comfortable working with the new detector, we got it down to six minutes [with the FDR D-EVO GL]– Ernest M. Chavez, Director of Radiology at Driscoll Children’s Hospital.

Workflow has greatly improved for our physicians. Our NICU doctors, for example, used to have to wait until the technologist processed each cassette before it could hit our PACS just to see the images. Now, doctors see the images right away.

Our emergency physicians and surgeons require a durable, easy to use, portable unit that delivers the highest level of imaging to make the right treatment decisions quickly and safely, there is no room for compromises.

The Endoluminal Conference is a non-CME course created to introduce its participants to new organ sparing techniques in Endoscopic Dissection and Endoscopic Resection of the Upper and Lower GI tract in Endoluminal Surgery. This course includes 8 hours hands-on lab. The hands-on course will cover tissue resection and closure techniques specific to Endoscopic Dissection and Endoscopic Resection. We will also discuss pre-evaluation of patient records, follow-up care, pathological assessment, and proper billing in the course.

Nurse and Technician Course Overview: This program helps nurses and technicians improve their skills in endoscopy through hands-on training and expert discussions.

Physician Course Overview: This program is for gastroenterologists and endoscopy specialists to advance their skills with new technologies and hands-on training.

The primary goal of the course is to provide a comprehensive, individualized hands-on workshop on current and emerging techniques in third space endoscopy, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM), submucosal tunneling resection, and more. The course will have two different agendas: one tailored for beginners and one for those with prior exposure and clinical experience in third space endoscopy (advanced). The hands-on sessions will be taught by experience world-renowned experts in the field. The low faculty to participant ratio will ensure a one-of-a kind immersive workshop.

Therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy continues to evolve rapidly, with expanding tools and techniques available to manage bleeding, resect complex lesions, and treat defects. While these advances have improved the ability of general gastroenterologists to deliver minimally invasive care, they have also introduced significant variability in knowledge, technical proficiency, and clinical decision-making across practice settings.

Many practicing gastroenterologists lack opportunities for structured, simulation-based training with new devices and techniques. This endoscopy reboot is designed to close gaps through an integrated learning experience combining practical didactic updates with one-on-one faculty guided hands-on instructions on devices and techniques using dry models, explant, and simulators.

Course participants will advance through a stepwise sequence reinforcing device selection, decision making, and hands-on skills across the three therapeutic domains of Hemostasis, Endoscopic Mucosal Resection, and Defect Closure.
