Dr. Stavros Stavropoulos is a world-renowned gastroenterologist and a pioneer in endoscopic surgery. He leads the new Program in Advanced Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Endoscopic Surgery at Archbold Memorial Hospital in Thomasville, GA.
For over 90 years, Archbold has been synonymous with high-quality, compassionate medical care. Archbold’s culture has always been one of innovation. The endoscopy program uses the latest technology and provides cutting-edge, advanced gastrointestinal procedures and patient-focused healthcare.
Dr. Stavropoulos is an expert in EUS and ERCP. He was one of the first practitioners in the US of ESD in 2005, the first practitioner of POEM in 2009, and the first practitioner of EFTR and STER in 2012.
“Utilizing my 20 years of experience, we put together a comprehensive list of equipment…I would say the centerpiece of that was the Omega fluoro machine,” said Dr. Stavropoulos. “The artificial intelligence controlling radiation exposure while not compromising image quality.”
“The main thing for me is image quality, which is great. The second one would be a seamless integration with endoscopy…having a company that has us as their primary focus as endoscopists creates a very nice, smooth integration.”
The Omega E-View.AI is the only lab designed with features specifically developed for ERCP and image-guided endoscopic procedures.
- ERCP motorized table for better patient positioning
- Large field-of-view flat-panel detector offers superior image quality
- Exclusive scatter radiation protection for staff
- Pivots out of the way for full patient access and for non-X-ray procedures
The E-View.AI offers several advantages that conventional IE systems cannot:
- AI detects the doctor’s region of interest – allowing for hands-free operation
- Maintains the full field of view (FOV) while delivering the highest level of image quality for the region of interest (ROI)
- Automatically reduces radiation exposure to patients and staff by up to 84%
“In the end, it (the E-View.AI) was the best combination of the things that advanced endoscopists look for in a system,” said Dr. Stavropoulos.
