Center Valley, PA, May 16, 2008- A live demonstration of sedationless transnasal endoscopy will be performed next week at Digestive Disease Week 2008 at the San Diego Convention Center. Dr. Charles J. Lightdale, director of clinical research at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, will perform the procedure. Join us at the Olympus Booth #3332 on Sunday, May 18 at 2:00pm to view this live demonstration and learn the benefits of this cutting-edge technique.
Below is the agenda for the DDW 2008 poster sessions and lectures that will feature key Olympus technologies and new products, including Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI), the Single Balloon Enteroscope system (SBE), Olympus’ M Scope and more. Several GI and endoscopy opinion leaders will be on site at the Olympus booth to discuss these topics.
We look forward to seeing you at the convention on May 17-22.
Narrow Band Imaging™
NBI is Olympus’ proprietary real-time, on-demand technology, which was developed to enhance visualization of the capillary network and mucosal morphology during endoscopic observation of the gastrointestinal tract. NBI-related presentations at DDW include:
