PD The SpyGlass system (Boston Scientific) is a recently developed system for performing cholangioscopy, the visual examination of the bile ducts. This procedure has been performed since 1976, but prior to the development of the SpyGlass system, the endoscopes used for cholangioscopy were very fragile and difficult to use. The SpyGlass system, which is more practical and an improvement over standard endoscopes, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in November 2006. Since then, a newer version of the original SpyScope was released in May of this year. The main difference between the original SpyScope (version 1.0) and the newer one (version 1.5) is improved tip deflection.
