ENHANCING VISION OF THE LUNG PERIPHERY
“Iriscope® opens up new perspectives in bronchial endoscopy. We are discovering areas of the lung that were previously invisible to us.”
Prof. Dimitri Leduc MD, PhD, Erasme Hospital, Belgium
The Lys Medical Iriscope® allows further reach during procedures providing direct vision of the lung periphery. The small optical probe fits through the working channel of a thin bronchoscope to allow direct vision prior to biopsy.
“Iriscope® allowed direct visualization of (pulmonary ground glass opacities) GGOs with high specificity and PPV, providing diagnostic insights...” (Amante E, Trisolini R, Taton O, et al. 2025)1
Fujifilm Healthcare Europe and Lys Medical expect the Radial EBUS and Iriscope® to open up new possibilities for bronchoscopy services with tools designed to provide valuable data that can support the accuracy and speed of lung cancer detection.
“With Iriscope, we don't just locate lesions, we understand their nature."
Prof. Samy Lachkar, Head of Bronchoscopy Unit, Rouen University Hospital, France

The availability of joint clinical data presents an opportunity to improve diagnostic accuracy and procedure time: a crucial part of the patient’s pathway. At Fujifilm Healthcare Europe, we are dedicated to improving this pathway and supporting the Pulmonology community in their important work for lung cancer patients.”
Samiran Dey, Head of Pulmonology and Surgical, Fujifilm Healthcare Europe
