Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital Installs New Omega Endoscopy System

Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital in McHenry, IL recently installed a new fluoroscopy system for its endoscopy program. The Omega E-View.AI is the most advanced interventional system available and the only ERCP fluoro system proven to reduce radiation exposure by up to 84%.

Dr. A. Samad Soudager led the effort to install a new fluoro system at McHenry Hospital. He wanted a system with a smaller footprint and available with a mobile table. Dr. Soudager also wanted a system they were already familiar with and that was easy to use. The E-View.AI checked all of those boxes.

Northwestern Medicine is an integrated healthcare system that brings together physicians and researchers from around the world to the Chicago area.

With a mission to prevent, diagnose, and treat disorders of the digestive tract and associated organs, Northwestern Medicine Gastroenterology Programs bring together multidisciplinary teams to provide top-quality care. The teams at Northwestern are skilled in the latest endoscopy procedures and use leading-edge technology – like the E-View.AI.

The Omega E-View.AI offers several advantages that conventional Interventional Endoscopy 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%

The 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 non-X-ray procedures

Northwestern Medicine aspires to be a destination for world-class care and to be recognized globally for the advancement of healthcare. Embracing leading-edge technology like the E-View.AI from Omega is further proof of that dedication.
