Using the latest technological developments to allow further quality improvements with a low operational dose rate.

1. Using Fujifilm’s “ISS method” reading technology to achieve sharper images

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.

2. Improved sensitivity in low-density areas using noise reduction circuitry^*1

Image noise is reduced by using a proprietary noise reduction circuitry.
Granularity in low-density areas is improved, helping to boost image quality.

3. Image processing technologies producing optimized images

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.

Power Assist function (optional)

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.

Multiple Panel Combinations and Variations

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.

Wide Range of Applications That Contribute to Improving Diagnostic Capabilities

Tomosynthesis^*3

Freedom to reconstruct and display image slices

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.

Automatic X-ray dose control and background reconstruction

Using the imaging conditions for a single preliminary image as reference, the conditions for Tomosynthesis imaging are set automatically.

High-precision, high-quality imaging to 150μm

By controlling such items as metal artifacts, high-precision imaging down to 150μm is possible.

Energy Subtraction^*3

Separates images of soft tissue and bone for improved viewing

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.

Controlling motion artifacts

Motion artifacts that may occur between exposures are suppressed by multiple resolution alignment processing, allowing for clear images of soft tissue and bone.

Image stitching^*3

Display full-length images of spine or lower limb

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

*3 These applications are optional.
*4 Depending on the degree of disjoint between images it may not be possible to implement automatic image correction.

Smoothly and Surely Ensuring a Stress-free Imaging Environment

1. Preparation

Completion of room preparation without touching the system

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.

* Option

Power Assist Function

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.

* Option

X-ray stand

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.

X-ray table

Using the foot switch and grip switch^*5 it is possible to adjust the height quickly and easily between 53 and 85 cm.

*5 Option

2. Patient Guidance and Positioning

Easily define the imaging position for each individual patient

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.

Radiation field linking function

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.

Setting made easy with an LCD touch panel

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.

3. Taking Images

Change conditions in the X-ray room using the touch panel

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.

“Sound and light” notifies those away from the machine when an X-ray is being taken

“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.
