Endoscopy CAD System OIP-1 ENDO-AID : Intelligent Support for Future Endoscopies

ENDO-AID is a dedicated endoscopy CAD system providing a seamless link to Olympus’ EVIS X1 endoscopy system. The system aims to act as a multi-platform unit within a single device, and it will be updated to include additional CAD applications as new programs are developed. As a pioneer in endoscopy technology, Olympus is committed to heightening the quality of examinations, contributing to early disease detection and facilitating more accurate treatment. The first available application is ENDO-AID CADe for the detection of lesions in colonoscopy, which comes preinstalled on the system.

Colon CADe installed on ENDO-AID is an application that uses AI to support faster, more accurate detection of polyps. The application was developed based on the training data used by specialist doctors to enable automatic detection of suspicious lesions under various conditions. The use of CADe is expected to reduce detection failure in examinations and improve the consistency of examination quality regardless of the physician’s experience level or facility environment.

ENDO-AID enables instant display of automatically detected lesions on the main monitor without any lag time.

This device supports Real-time detection during an examination instead of waiting until after the examination is complete. This may contribute to the early discovery of lesions.

ENDO-AID can be easily integrated with Olympus’ latest endoscopy system EVIS X1. It is also compatible with various existing colonovideoscopes, eliminating changes in workflow and stresses associated with new system introduction.

The switches on the scope or the CV-1500 touch panel can be used to turn ENDO-AID on and off or to switch between Normal Mode and Target Mode, allowing the physician to give the examination their full attention.

ENDO-AID information will be displayed together with CV-1500 information on the monitor without any overlay.

ENDO-AID CADe has setting values to activate and deactivate the CADe function, which can be selected based on individual preference.

ENDO-AID is fitted with multiple CAD slots and comes preloaded with the colon CADe application at the time of purchase. Remaining slots can be used to install additional CAD applications as new programs become available. Various CAD applications can be installed together on this single device.
