Wireless Detector Offers Irradiation Side-Sampling Technology

Posted on 22 Aug 2012
A new 24 x 30-cm wireless detector panel provides excellent image quality in a variety of exams, including neonatal and orthopedic imaging.

At the 40th annual Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) meeting and exposition, held in August 2012 in Orlando (FL, USA), FujiFilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) announced the commercial availability of the FDR D-EVO 24 x 30 cm cesium iodide flat-panel detector, the latest addition to a diverse family of DR products. The first and only 24 x 30-cesium wireless flat panel detector on the US market will provide Fujifilm’s ease-of-use, image quality, and dose efficiency in a lightweight, very compact design to accommodate neonatal, pediatric, and orthopedic imaging.

The 24 x 30 cm, wireless FDR D-EVO flat panel detector combines the unique dose efficiency advantages of Fujifilm’s patented irradiation side-sampling (ISS) technology with image performance of cesium iodide. The innovative ISS technology is designed to improve detective quantum efficiency (DQE) by reducing the distance for light signals to reach the sensing electronics. By reducing scatter and blur, it produces ultra-sharp detail even at very low X-ray exposure. As a result, the FDR D-EVO 24 x 30-cm cesium detector achieves as much as 20% higher DQE performance compared to conventional detectors, enabling potential for lower patient dose and enhancing diagnostic confidence for the radiologist.

In addition to diagnostic benefits, the new detector provides the same ease-of-use as the entire FDR D-EVO product range, providing extended versatility and renewed ease of positioning for a the most common types of exams. “The size of the new 24 x 30 FDR D-EVO detector offers the versatility and maneuverability that every technologist has been hoping for. It’s the perfect addition for busy imaging departments where exams requiring a small field of view, like neonatal incubator trays, extremity and skull exams take place daily,” said Rob Fabrizio, Fujifilm’s senior marketing and product development manager, digital radiography systems. “And its small size and lightweight make it an ‘absolute must’ for exams like sunrise views giving you peace of mind as the patient to holds the detector in position.”
