The newest version of the company's popular solution recently received 510(k) for diagnostic use on Apple® devices. "Synapse® Mobility 3.0 is all about convenience and clinicians lead hectic lives where reading from remote locations is almost always required," says Jim Morgan, VP of Medical Informatics for Fujifilm.

The new version also includes a collaboration feature designed to foster greater communication between professionals by allowing clinicians to consult in real-time.
