Frequently Asked Questions About Pulmonology Procedures and Solutions

The EVIS X1 is Olympus’ primary endoscopy platform designed to support clinical workflows in pulmonology. When used with compatible bronchoscopes, it integrates advanced visualization technologies that enhance the visual contrast of mucosal surfaces and vascular structures, thereby assisting physicians in the detection, characterization, and staging of pulmonary disorders.

Yes, the EVIS X1 system supports backward compatibility with select previous-generation Olympus bronchoscopes. By utilizing compatible video system adapters, healthcare facilities can connect supported bronchoscope models to the platform, facilitating a flexible transition while integrating updated visualization technology.

The BF-UCP190F features a 5.9 mm outer diameter and 170° upward angulation. This design facilitates navigation within the tracheobronchial tree to support target visualization during EBUS-TBNA (Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration) procedures and assist in lymph node sampling for mediastinal staging.

To reach lesions located in the peripheral lung regions, Olympus provides dedicated solutions for peripheral bronchoscopy. This portfolio includes thin and ultrathin bronchoscopes, radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) probes, and guide sheath systems designed to assist physicians in localizing and acquiring tissue samples from solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).

Olympus provides bronchoscopic solutions designed to support minimally invasive valve procedures (such as endobronchial valve placement) for selected patients with severe emphysema. These solutions assist clinicians in delivering and positioning valves to target diseased, hyperinflated lung regions, thereby supporting atelectasis formation in target lobes as part of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR).

Olympus provides technologies designed to support clinical workflows across the lung cancer care pathway, from initial visual assessment to mediastinal staging. This portfolio includes high-definition bronchoscopes, advanced imaging modalities, and dedicated solutions for peripheral bronchoscopy and EBUS-TBNA to assist physicians in tissue acquisition and lesion characterization.

The LTF-H290 is designed for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within the pleural space. It delivers high-definition imaging to support medical thoracoscopy, enabling direct visualization of the pleural cavity to assist clinicians in inspecting tissue and acquiring targeted pleural biopsies.

You can access clinical video resources, procedural guides, and peer-to-peer insights directly on this page in our Lung-Term Learning section. These educational videos are presented by practicing pulmonologists to support clinical knowledge sharing and daily practice.

Through our dedicated medical training platform, Olympus Continuum, we offer comprehensive, hands-on education led by clinical experts. This includes practical training courses on-site or at our training centers, and access to our global Professional Education On-Demand Library with procedural videos. Additionally, our regional service teams provide complete technical support, from system installation to clinical team onboarding.
