FUJIFILM Introduces Flexible DR Room Offering

STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AHRA Booth # 901 -- Today FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. announced the latest addition to one of the most diverse family of DR products available today, 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 popular FDR D-EVO™ portable detectors.

The FDR D-EVO™ Suite II is designed with busy technologists and their patients in mind, while providing Fujifilm's exceptional 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. "One of the highlights of this new system is having these controls at the tube head," says 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. Fabrizio continues, "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 traditionally only available with high-end, fixed detector systems. The lightweight wireless FDR D-EVO™ panels can further 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.

The release of the FDR D-EVO™ Suite II comes on the heels of the company's recent #1 ranking as the highest score overall for medical equipment vendor – 'Best in KLAS' – in the "2012 Best in KLAS Awards: Medical Equipment & Infrastructure" report.
