Olympus EVIS X1: Optimizing Early Cancer Treatment with the 4D Workflow

In gastrointestinal endoscopy, the diagnosis and treatment of early-stage cancer remain a significant challenge. This is mainly because early lesions — the “golden stage” for curative treatment — often present as subtle, flat abnormalities that closely resemble healthy tissue or are located in hard-to-visualize areas. Even for experienced endoscopists, accurately identifying precancerous or early cancerous lesions demands a high level of clinical expertise.

In such a context, every endoscopic system must serve as a powerful clinical assistant — supporting physicians from detection through evaluation and real-time intervention.

The EVIS X1 endoscopy system by Olympus is designed with this philosophy at its core. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge imaging technologies, EVIS X1 is built to support physicians in diagnosing and treating early-stage cancers — from identifying the smallest lesions to performing on-site therapeutic procedures.

EVIS X1 stands out with its 4D workflow:

• Detect: Ultra-high-definition 4K imaging combined with up to 150x optical magnification allows for the identification of microscopic and early-stage lesions without the need for staining or immediate biopsy. This is especially critical for early detection of gastric and colorectal cancers, where precancerous changes are often faint and easily missed.
• Define: Technologies such as TXI, NBI, RDI, and EDOF help physicians thoroughly assess mucosal microstructures, vascular patterns, and submucosal invasion depth. This facilitates clear demarcation of lesion boundaries and aids in risk assessment and accurate evaluation of tumor invasion extent.
• Decide: The AI-powered EndoBRAIN-EYE acts as a clinical assistant, detecting small lesions in hard-to-see areas, classifying abnormalities, and reducing the miss rate. Combined with high-definition magnified imaging, this enables physicians to make confident clinical decisions — whether to monitor, biopsy, or intervene.
• Do: EVIS X1 is compatible with a wide range of electrosurgical knives, allowing physicians to perform EMR/ESD procedures within the same endoscopic session, ensuring timely intervention and minimizing equipment changes. The system is also designed to reduce operational burden, featuring a user-friendly touchscreen interface and one-touch controls to minimize fatigue during back-to-back procedures.

With OLYMPUS EVIS X1, physicians can see earlier, act more accurately, respond faster, and treat more safely — ultimately delivering better outcomes for patients. Thanks to these advanced technological capabilities, Lenus Vietnam has selected the EVIS X1 system as part of a donation package worth over 4 billion VND to K Hospital, with the aim of supporting training and improving cancer care at Vietnam’s leading oncology center.
