A new digital radiography (DR) room is designed for busy technologists and their patients, while providing excellent image quality. It comes equipped with new automation and display features on the tube head. The new tube head includes a convenient touchscreen for system adjustments traditionally found at the generator console.Posted on 13 Aug 2012
FujiFilm Medical Systems, USA, Inc. (Stamford, CT, USA) announced the latest addition to one of the most diverse range of DR products currently available, the FDR D-EVO Suite II. The medical imaging and informatics company is now offering another cost effective, flexible, DR room solution designed to optimize workflow while utilizing any of Fujifilm’s FDR D-EVO portable detectors.
“One of the highlights of this new system is having these controls at the tube head,” said Rob Fabrizio Fujifilm’s senior marketing and product development manager, digital radiography systems. “This allows the technologist to stay with the patient, at the table, while making simple exam adjustments. Then, the tech can simply return to the control area to take the exposure.”
The system’s workflow enhancements also provide benefits in areas where speed during the exam is critical. Mr. Fabrizio continued, “the new system is perfect for everyday use to high volume, high stress emergency departments. It provides just the right balance of automation and manual movements for day in and day out reliability and time critical grab and go speed.”
Any of Fujifilm’s FDR D-EVO detectors, including the 17x17 model, can be used interchangeably with the FDR D-EVO Suite II to maximize flexibility. By providing access to the 17x17 detector, the new system offers a full field of view that was conventionally only available with high-end, fixed detector systems. The lightweight wireless FDR D-EVO panels can additionally maximize return on investment by allowing clinicians to mix, match, and share sizes and capture-types throughout the radiology department, including other rooms and portables.
