The EU-ME1 is the world's first* endoscopic ultrasound processor to combine electronic and mechanical scanning in a single device.

It is ideal for a wide range of endoscopic ultrasound procedures in the digestive and respiratory fields.

Olympus Medical Systems Corporation (President: Haruhito Morishima) launched the Universal Endoscopic Ultrasound Center EU-ME1 worldwide on March 2, 2009. The EU-ME1 is the world's first* endoscopic ultrasound system to combine electronic and mechanical scanning in a single device and is ideal for a wide range of endoscopic ultrasound procedures, supporting the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic and lung cancers and other diseases, and assessments of the spread of cancers in the esophagus and stomach. 

Seven Olympus ultrasound scopes and fourteen ultrasound probes that previously required different processors can now all be connected to the EU-ME1. The EU-ME1 can also be mounted on the trolley for the Olympus EVIS endoscopic videoscope system and connected to the same hi-vision monitor and keyboard, for optimal efficiency in procedures ranging from digestive endoscopy to endoscopic ultrasonography.
