Grandview Medical Center is First in Alabama with Radiation-Saving Advanced Endoscopy Suite

Grandview Medical Center recently opened a new advanced endoscopy suite utilizing the E-View.AI and its industry-leading radiation reduction technology. The E-View.AI from Omega Medical Imaging is the most advanced image-guided endoscopy system available and the only system proven to reduce radiation exposure to the physician, their staff, and the patient.

Located in Birmingham, AL, Grandview Medical Center is dedicated to providing excellent care to its patients and creating a safe work environment for its practitioners. Grandview strives for zero events of preventable harm and continuously works to deliver better outcomes for its patients, reduce risk, and build trust. For Grandview, safety is a core value and is embedded in its culture and in every aspect of care for patients.

The E-View.AI offers advantages over conventional, non-AI systems – superior imaging and radiation reduction. Image quality can lead to shorter procedure times and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the procedure. The dramatically reduced radiation improves safety and can mitigate side effects attributed to radiation exposure.

The E-View.AI at Grandview Medical Center is the first installed in Alabama and represents a significant leap forward in available health care. Grandview’s emphasis on quality and safety is highlighted by its commitment to bringing state-of-the-art technology to Alabama and beyond.

The Omega E-View.AI provides features exclusively developed for ERCP and advanced endoscopy 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 non-X-ray procedures

The E-View.AI also offers several advantages that other 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%

“We are very happy to have this brand-new fluoroscopy unit available in our lab, as we continue to care for patients from all parts of Alabama and surrounding states,” said Dr. Mohannad Dugum, director of advanced endoscopy at Grandview. “This unit utilizes artificial intelligence capabilities to provide the highest quality imaging for the advanced GI procedures we perform, while keeping radiation exposure at a minimum. We now have the highest quality unit with the best safety profile. This brings tremendous value and reaffirms our commitment to excellence.”

Fluoroscopy and Procedural Time during ERCP

In a recent paper presented to GIE, Mark M. Aloysius, MD, Ph.D. et al., explored the impact of training on the total procedural and fluoroscopy time during ERCP. If training does increase time, this would raise safety concerns with additional fluoroscopy use and, therefore, a greater risk of radiation exposure.
