A large provider of diagnostic imaging equipment and informatics solutions showcased a new comprehensive Digital Radiography (DR) portfolio and women’s imaging solutions at the annual American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA 2016) meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
The new DR equipment was developed by FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A. (Stamford, CT, USA) and includes the FDR D-EVO GL system, the world’s first long-length DR detector that can acquire fast, long-length, low-dose, single-exposure radiography exams of patients with conditions such as scoliosis. The system features a 17x49” field-of-view requires only a single exposure and reduces the chance of movement artifacts, and is more efficient than existing multi-exposure DR equipment. When compared to conventional Computed Tomography (CR) equipment, the detector of the FDR D-EVO GL system uses less radiation dose, and does not require CR processing steps.
Another innovation showcased at the AHRA meeting by FUJIFILM Medical Systems was the Virtual Grid, a second-generation grid simulation image processing system. The Virtual Grid can adapt image contrast and improve image quality for acquired images without a grid, by interpreting and correcting radiation scatter effects. The Virtual Grid is intended for both DR and CR imaging systems. The Virtual Grid makes the detector lighter detector and enables technologist to perform exams faster, and position patients more easily. The system has a 50% lower dose than imaging exams performed with a grid.
Director of strategic marketing in the Digital Radiography and Women’s Health group of FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Rob Fabrizio, said, “Our participation at AHRA 2016 will extend well beyond the walls of our booth, offering radiology professionals valuable information, insights and experience that they can take back to their facilities to improve department processes and patient outcomes.”
