A world-leading Japan-developed system to detect liver cancer is to be introduced in Thailand, where the disease is a major health issue.

Fujifilm has been working toward introducing the system with the Thai Association for the Study of the Liver and the country's health ministry. Its introduction will possibly come in the fiscal year beginning April 2024.

The Japanese imaging and health care solutions firm is hoping the screening system will be included in Thailand's clinical practice guidelines so that it will eventually be covered by insurance.
