FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leader in medical imaging and informatics, has announced the introduction of advanced automation features for its FDR Visionary Suite digital radiography room. Designed to streamline high-volume imaging in hospital radiology departments and imaging centers, these new capabilities aim to boost workflow efficiency and elevate both patient and technologist experiences across a broad spectrum of general radiology exams.
The advanced automated functions help simplify exam set-up and patient positioning. For example, the system’s Intelligent Camera Assist feature, which is built into the suite’s collimator, offers a live view of the patient from the control room, as well as positioning guidance at the tube and optional motion detection to help guide positioning accuracy and prevent retakes. The SpeedLink™ feature automatically sets preferred, dose-saving techniques and collimation field size to the selected exam. The FDR Visionary Suite’s automated positioning guidance overlays and advanced pre-exposure motion detection alerts help technologists prevent retakes.
In addition to the system’s automation features, the system is designed with patient comfort in mind. FDR Visionary Suite accommodates patients of all sizes and patients with mobility challenges, as it features a large tabletop and stroke with motorized elevation, and a weight capacity of 649 lbs. Additionally, the system automatically captures long length images of up to 63” upright and 47” supine. Misalignments caused by patient movement can be corrected through automatic motion correction software, and images can be captured in as little as 20 seconds, for a better patient experience.
“Built for performance and exceptional patient care, the advanced features and automation of FDR Visionary Suite are designed to enable clinicians to perform routine and complex exams with impressive speed, accuracy and repeatability,” said Rob Fabrizio, director of strategic marketing, diagnostic imaging, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “With increased workflow efficiency and consistent accuracy, radiographers can better focus on the patient and speed diagnosis and treatment.”

The versatile, digital radiographic x-ray suite is powered by Fujifilm’s latest DR detectors, which are well known for their enhanced ultra-low dose and exceptional image quality performance, achieved by combining cesium iodide with Fujifilm’s patented Irradiation Side Sampling (ISS) technology. The FDR Visionary Suite incorporates a robust technologist acquisition console, known as the FDX Console with Fujifilm’s Dynamic Visualization intelligent feature recognition processing. Dynamic Visualization automatically recognizes characteristics of the region of interest and applies the optimum image processing parameters throughout the entire exposure field, dynamically extending visibility, contrast, and window and leveling capabilities for more confident diagnosis.
