GF-UE160-AL5

Contents start

The world's first 360° electronic radial scanning scope expands the potential of EUS, combining exceptional scope capability and maneuverability with advanced ultrasound functionality, enabling blood flow confirmation for easier orientation in the pancreatobiliary region.

Expanding the potential of EUS, this 360° electronic radial echoendoscope combines exceptional scope capability and maneuverability with superb ultrasound image quality and advanced ultrasound functionality.

The GF-UE160-AL5 enhances resolution and penetration depth, enabling confirmation of blood flow conditions for easier orientation in the pancreatobiliary region, and is compatible with the Olympus EU-ME2 ultrasound centre and Hitachi Aloka Alpha 5, 7, and 10 systems.

360° ultrasound view

Providing a full 360° ultrasonic overview, enabling precise diagnostics of the GI tract and allowing an easier anatomical orientation via image rotation capability.

High resolution ultrasound images

Five different frequencies, from 5 MHz up to 12 MHz, permit the highest image quality at every scanning area.

High quality video images

Built-in CCD enables crystal clear endoscopic video images of the targeted area with white light.

Excellent maneuverability

The small diameter, wide angulation range (130° up, 90° down/left/right) and short distal end of the echoendoscope enables excellent maneuverability in order to safely display all areas of interest.

Colour and Power Doppler

Enables the investigation of vascular structures to characterise suspicious tissue findings and allow easier orientation within the pancreatobiliary region.

Tissue Harmonic Echo (THE)

Clearly delineates lesion outlines and provides improved spatial and contrast resolution of the ultrasound image. THE further improves ultrasound image quality.

Complete 360° view

Allows the most precise tumour staging ever.

Varying ultrasound frequencies

Five different frequencies (from 5 MHz up to 12 MHz), enables high resolution scanning.

Providing quality video images

Built-in CCD with a 100° field of view enables precise white-light diagnostics of the GI tract and easier orientation via image rotation capability.

Excellent maneuverability

The small diameter, wide angulation range (130° up, 90° down/left/right) and short distal end of the echoendoscope enables excellent maneuverability.

Keeping the lens clean

The lens cleaning function ensures the endoscopic field of view is clear at all times.

Colour and power Doppler

Usually used for EUS-guided FNA procedures, Doppler capability enables a detailed observation of blood flow within a lesion.

Tissue harmonic echo

THE improves the ultrasound image quality without any need for contrast agents.
