A fluorescence imaging system (Xillix LIFE – Lung Fluorescence Endoscopy system) using
fluorescence for the accurate diagnosis and early detection of lesions through an endosocope
has been developed. This system has applied an optical diagnostic technology to functionally
diagnose lesions which have been difficult to morphologically recognize or are occult with
conventional endoscope. The benefit of this system in the diagnosis of lung cancer has already
been confirmed in the US and Japan, and feasibility of the system in the gastric intestinal field
has also been evaluated.
