Benefiting from a wide range of advanced applications targeted to improve diagnostic capabilities, a precise design that facilitates efficient workflow with minimal impact for patients and FUJIFILM's unique image processing that enhances image quality while reducing the patient dose, the FDR Visionary Suite is the next generation in X-ray systems.
- Compatible with a range of FUJIFILM DR panels
- Advanced applications support diagnosis
[Tomosynthesis] [Energy Subtraction] [Long View Imaging] - Stress-free, optimized imaging workflow
[5-axis Auto-positioning] [Power Assist Function]
In contrast to conventional FPD offerings this system features an indirect conversion FPD using the “ISS method,” where the TFT sensor is placed in front of the scintillation layer instead of behind it. With this proprietary method the scattering/dissipation of X-ray signals is significantly reduced, achieving sharper images with a lower X-ray dose.
Image noise is reduced by using a proprietary noise reduction circuitry.
Granularity in low-density areas is improved, helping to boost image quality.
The system features imaging processing technologies that enable desirable image display. These technologies include “Dynamic Visualization,” which optimizes images for diagnosis on-screen, and “Flexible Noise Control (FNC) Processing,” which reduces granularity by automatically extracting and excluding image noise components.
The “Power Assist” function minimises effort and strain in manual positioning. The motors in the X-ray tube unit provide variable drive assist depending on the forces applied by the user when moving the tube, reducing the effort needed to position manually and making the workflow more efficient.
Power Assist level can be selected from 3 modes.
High assist mode provides more assist for more quickly and easier travel over longer distances.
It is possible to select the optimized imaging method for each examination and site requirement by selecting from a wide range of FUJIFILM panel sizes, types and configurations.
With various optional technologies such as Tomosynthesis, additional imaging information can be provided, further improving diagnostic capabilities.
This model is capable of a wide-range of general radiography imaging, including image stitching and an Autopositioning option, enabling optimized work flow.

With this technology the X-ray tube moves linearly, acquiring a series of images in a single sweep, which can then be reconstructed to create cross-sectional image slices.
Using the imaging conditions for a single preliminary image as reference, the conditions for Tomosynthesis imaging are set automatically.
By controlling such items as metal artifacts, high-precision imaging down to 150μm is possible.
This technology takes two X-rays, utilizing the difference in X-ray energy absorption to create specific images of soft tissue and bone, etc. The dose rate is changed automatically between shots.
Motion artifacts that may occur between exposures are suppressed by multiple resolution alignment processing, allowing for clear images of soft tissue and bone.
This technology uses multiple images taken in one sweep and automatically stitches them to create images of wide area of up to 160cm upright and 120cm recumbent. Disjointed images caused by patient body movements can be automatically corrected through image alignment.*4
The system features an auto-positioning function that moves the X-ray tube into position automatically. It is possible to pre-set and restore positions from the image guidance menu.
The Power Assist Function enhances manual X-ray tube positioning by the use of motors, providing quick and extremely light movements. It can reduce the physical exertion for radiographers when positioning the tube.
A movable scope of 40 to 190 cm from the center of the exposure makes it possible to take images of the entire lower limb from the cervical vertebrae down. The exposure platform can be adjusted from -20 to 90 degrees*5, making it possible to take images of the head and upper limbs.
Using the foot switch and grip switch*5 it is possible to adjust the height quickly and easily between 53 and 85 cm.
With the auto-tracking function the panel and X-ray tube are automatically kept in alignment, making it possible to focus on patient positioning and care. By switching between automatic and manual functions positioning can be simplified, allowing the operator to maintain full control.
The pre-selected radiation field size for the area to be imaged is automatically set and alignment of the field to the upper or lower portion of the detector is also automatically performed.
The touch panel presents image-related information clearly and also enables settings to be changed easily. It is also possible to change the angle of the square LCD panel by 90 degrees to match the direction of the X-ray tube, making it easy to see at all times.
All conditions can be changed using the LCD touch panel on the X-ray tube supporting arm, making it possible to set conditions in the X-ray room alone. The changed conditions are relayed in real time to the controller outside the X-ray room.
“Ready up” and “X-ray in progress” notifications can be clearly understood by sounds and lights on the frame and hand switch.
There is a choice of seven colors for the notification lights.
Determine the image position and take an X-ray.
Imaging conditions are automatically calculated from the pre-shot and up to 60 images are collected.
Metal artifacts are suppressed to create a high-precision image.
The parameters to obtain an image of wide area are set and an exposure is performed.
Multiple images are taken automatically within the pre-set parameters.
Multiple images are stitched automatically. Disjoints in stitched images caused by patient body movements are also automatically corrected.
FDR Visionary Suite supports connection to FUJIFILM’s EX-Mobile.
EX-Mobile is a compact, lightweight optional accessory that provides the operating environment to install the software such as AI-CAD software*6 at technologist console to display the analysis result in images received from AI-CAD.
The console display is not for diagnosis purpose, it enables users to see the analysis result and send it to PACS.
With a broad range of DR Panel options, the FDR Visionary Suite can be configured to meet each site's workflow and handling preferences. The dedicated D-EVO Advanced panel allows superior dose performance, integrated panel charging and advanced imaging support for tomosynthesis and energy subtraction examinations.
Compatibility with FDR D-EVO Ⅱ allows for panel sharing to other areas of the hospital, including mobile imaging and retrofit solutions as required.
FDR D-EVO Advanced C43A is a multifunctional portable flat panel sensor that can be used in a wide range of clinical scenarios.
This panel displays excellent performance, allowing for Energy Subtraction and Tomosynthesis imaging. When used as a mobile detector for free- exposure, the D-EVO Advanced displays a flexibility of use not possible with traditional fixed detectors.
Integrated bucky charging maintains the power supply to the D-EVO Advanced panel without the need for regular battery exchange and allows for faster, wired communication for all bucky examinations.
