Fujifilm Expands DR Portfolio with Wireless Version of FDR D-EVO(TM)
Provides same exceptional image quality as predecessor; now even easier to use
CHICAGO, -- Making its world debut today at the 2010 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting is the FDR D-EVO(TM) Wireless, the latest addition to the D-EVO family of flat panel detectors from FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. By providing a completely cord-free version of its lightweight cassette detector, the world leader in digital x-ray can provide imaging facilities with even greater ease of positioning as well as enhanced flexibility for use in a wider variety of imaging applications.
The new, wireless version of the FDR D-EVO is 14 x 17" flat panel detector that can easily and cost effectively convert any analog room to digital with a seamless direct fit into existing table or upright systems. Because it is wireless, it also provides enhanced ease-of-positioning and additional flexibility for use in challenging imaging environments. Whether using the detector in the operating room or intensive care, there is no sensor cord to interfere with the patient positioning.
Image quality is a significant advantage of the FDR D-EVO Wireless. Using Fujifilm's patented Irradiation Side Sampling (ISS), an innovative technology that improves detective quantum efficiency (DQE), the system enables technologists to take high quality images at lower doses. Designed internally by Fujifilm, the unique innovations of the FDR D-EVO Wireless detector achieve significant dose efficiency improvements compared to similar DR detectors. This design reduces scatter and blur of x-rays captured, resulting in sharper images with greater detail that enhances diagnostic confidence for the radiologist. The wireless detector is the ideal solution for orthopaedic exams where low dose is required to produce the fine details for images of delicate areas like the wrist, hand or leg.
"As Fujifilm expands its DR product line, the focus remains dedicated to providing solutions that yield the exceptional image quality our customers have come to expect from us," says Rob Fabrizio, Fujifilm's Senior Product Manager, Modality Solutions. "We are proud to deliver on that expectation and have every confidence that our FDR D-EVO Wireless will exceed Fujifilm's reputation for superior image quality and ease of use."
In addition to providing flexibility during an exam, the FDR D-EVO Wireless offers a lasting power supply that will reduce downtime and increase throughput. The system offers a lightweight removable lithium ion battery that provides fast charge times and up to three hours or 400 exposures of use per charge. A multi-charger system with two spare batteries is also included with the detector which reduces concerns for power loss. Additionally, a detachable cord provides the option for continuous charging and the ability to leave the detector in the bucky for uninterrupted extended use.
