Company Profile

FujiFilm Medical Systems

FUJI, in 1983 pioneered the world's first digital X-ray system Fuji Computed Radiography (FCR). Ever since then, Fujifilm has maintained its focus on building technological innovations and offers yet again another new solution to the medical field, Fujifilm Digital Radiography Systems (FUJIFILM DR). FUJIFILM DR realises simultaneously both high image quality and reduced X-ray exposure, and has broadened our product portfolio as represented by our new Fujifilm DR VELOCITY series, Flat Panel FDR AcSelerate, Flat panel cassette based FDR D- EVO and the AMULET (FFDM) which is specifically designed for mammography. Fujifilm's superb technology and diversified product line-up has gained recognition from medical institutions of all practices and over 70,000 digital imaging systems have been sold worldwide.

The FDR D-EVO represents the latest addition to FUJIFILM Medical Systems impressive line-up of groundbreaking DR products. Featuring secure network connectivity, D-EVO transmits images to the technologist workstation in only five seconds and features nine second cycle times. FDR D-EVO uses Fujifilm's patented ISS (Irradiation Side Sampling) to improve DQE (detective quantum efficiency) for outstanding image quality. This patented technology reduces the distance for light signals reaching the sensor, mitigating diffusion and attenuation for enhanced image sharpness and reduced noise. The result is FDR imag es with consistent high quality images and increased (accurate) diagnostic confidence.

Just as with our FDR products, we are also firmly committed to expanding the array of our CR product lines. We have introduced the FCR Go, Fujifilm's first portable CR x-ray unit. Its flexible, compact design allows you to go just about everywhere within your facility to conduct exams and preview exposed images right on the spot all with greater speed and efficiency. The FCR Go has powerful battery backup and can perform about 40 x-ray examinations even without power.

CAPSULA XL II is the most widely preferred CR in India which is evolving into a compact, multi-functional workstation compatible also for mammography exams. The PROFECT series of CR are the worlds only US FDA approved CR for performing mammography examinations. The Multi cassette CR from FUJI has the path breaking technology of scanning multi cassettes at a time unlike other CR systems which are multi loader used only to stack the cassettes.

The DRYPIX DP 7000 is the largest selling dry laser imager in India. Through technologies only available at Fujifilm, we provide the world's fastest high quality images to any location at a medical institution.

In the PACS segment, SYNAPSE, our image and information management system, has been implemented at over 2,500 medical institutions worldwide with ten implementations already done in India. SYNAPSE proves its high evaluation for exceptional system stability and high image quality is now incorporated into Cardiology PACS. To add FUJIFILM INDIA are also the recipient of Frost & Sullivan award for Multinational PACS company of the year 2009.

Having gained its position as a leading company in medical imaging systems, Fujifilm is totally committed to bringing change to the medical field through its philosophy "Innovative Products through Continuous Progress."

Fujifilm Mammography Solutions

AMULET FUJIFILM DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY SYSTEM

Fujifilm's revolutionary digital mammography system, AMULET, is equipped with a new type direct-conversion flat panel detector (FPD) that boosts the world's smallest pixel size*1 of 50 micron and also simultaneously realizes both high resolution and low noise image through a Fujifilm developed panel structure with a dual layer of amorphous selenium, and the world's first*2 Direct Optical Switching Technology. Indications of masses and microcalcifications are clearly depicted with superb high resolution, and even workflow time has been shortened by approximately 15 seconds with the waiting interval from one exposure shot to the next. And the women friendly ergonomic design of the system unit greatly reduces the stress and discomfort experienced with mammography exams.

AWS (Acquisition Workstation)

The console specifically designed for mammography, providing enhanced efficiency in line with workflow with its functions and operational screens.

• Upright screen monitor.
• Readily distinguishable x-ray controls in a compact display.
• Selective 1, 2, or 4 images on a single monitor.
• Modality worklist.
• View modifier code sequence, pixel padding value, etc.
• Option of Fujifilm's Mammography QC Program.

The Innovative Selenium Panel Developed Exclusively by Fujifilm

The 50 micron flat panel offers exceptional performance and provides optimum image quality

• Direct Optical Switching Technology - New from Fujifilm
  The x-ray sensor employs a direct switching method and the panel is comprised a dual layer of amorphous selenium. By extracting the image signal that is converted to an electric charge through the newly-developed Direct Optical Switching system rather than a conventional TFT switch, Fujifilm has reduced electronic noise and achieved a pixel pitch of 50 micron.
• Fujifilm's exclusive amorphous selenium (a-Se) panel
  Through use of our device development technology and vacuum deposition technology, we have produced highly pure amorphous selenium, offering a higher x-ray conversion rate. In addition, the shorter time required to erase the residual electric charge, through highintensity light, made possible by the use of Direct Optical Switching Technology, shortens the imaging cycle and improves efficiency.
• Higher image quality achieved using our proven FCR imaging technology
  AMULET uses the mammography image processing technology from our proven FCR system. It provides high quality images that enhance visualization of the mammary tissue and offers greater detail of abnormal areas. Thus, AMULET certainly helps the diagnostic process with efficiency.

Fujifilm CR Digital Mammography Systems

Bringing high quality with economy and reliability

Using advanced technologies to assist early detection of breast cancer, Fujifilm's easy-to-use digital systems, the FCR PROFECT CS and PROFECT ONE, expedite workflow with multi-room capability, background image processing and automatic image routing features. Touch-panel accessibility and intuitive software enable the CR Console to facilitate data confirmation and networking versatility. Linking the FCR reader via CR Console to the CAD Mammography Workstation greatly expands image reading capacity. Fujifilm's Digital Mammography Systems benefit operator and patient alike by providing more information from a single acquisition, thereby ensuring a more accurate diagnosis.

Fujifilm Computed Radiography (CR), the world's first CR that has acquired PMA*1 approval from FDA*2 for mammography.

Image reader for Mammography

(DSR) Dual-Side Reading Technology

Dual-Side IP (Imaging Plate) Reading technology allows the use of a thicker phosphor layer on the transparent base, thereby increasing DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) by collecting the emissions from both sides of the IP with optimal, spatial frequency-dependent factors.

Fujifilm CAD (Computer-Aided Detection)

Fujifilm Digital Mammography CAD is a valuable detection support system. Using proprietary algorithms, this CAD system helps detect areas on the breast image that may indicate cancer with the readily distinguishable CAD marks.

Mammography QC Program

Fujifilm's Mammography QC Program is a dedicated quality control program applicable to FUJIFILM digital mammography systems. This program enables the system to keep a stable image quality for both screening and diagnosis.

SYNAPSE PACS
The worldwide highly-evaluated PACS

Fujifilm's SYNAPSE is a web-based medical imaging and information management system that integrates image and diagnostic information within a medical institution over a specified network. Operation has been made simple so that doctors, technologists, and hospital personnel can readily obtain required information anywhere and anytime. Images and past exam data from even separate modalities can also be displayed with high image quality and high-functionality, strongly supporting patient study needs.

Sagar Hospital's

Since more than a year of installation of Fuji PACS - Synapse in our 2 Hospitals in Bangalore, we are extremely satisfied with its performance, as our throughput has increased with complete elimination of confusion about films. It has been customised to our workflow pattern and also has been customized to every users (Radiologist, Technologist or Clinician) satisfaction, resulting in highly efficient workflow environment.
