Fujifilm Releases FDR Go iQ Portable Digital Radiography System

Fujifilm Healthcare Americas has launched FDR Go iQ, a portable digital radiography solution for hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).

FDR iQ Go features a built-in 3D camera with advanced positioning guidance and the ability to upgrade to future artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Its intelligent smart charging automated in bin connection keeps the detector powered for extended use.

A touchscreen tube head display and controls offer advanced positioning and tube alignment guidance, motion detection, and exam parameters within reach. A 19-inch display provides image verification at the bedside, and a 22.5-inch-wide and 970-pound design helps optimize mobility in tight spaces.

The FDR Go IQ coupled with FDR D-EVO III ultra-lightweight glass-free detectors feature Fujifilm’s exclusive Hydro AG antibacterial coating and patented Irradiated Side Sampling (ISS) for higher-resolution and improved dose efficiency compared to conventional circuitry designs. By acquiring its data on the patient side of the circuitry, ISS increases sharpness and Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) and reduces scatter and blur at ultra-low doses.

The system’s onboard technologist console features the company’s Dynamic Visualization II intelligent feature recognition processing, which automatically adapts to anatomic characteristics and hardware to generate images with higher detail and contrast levels throughout.

“This new portable digital radiography system represents a major step forward in imaging mobility, performance, and user experience,” said Rob Fabrizio, director of strategic marketing, medical imaging systems, Fujifilm Healthcare Americas. “The FDR Go iQ has an extremely slim and lightweight design, a retractable column, and an ultra-low profile, all of which enhances safety and maneuverability in even the busiest clinical settings. Additionally, the innovative built-in charging and touchscreen tube head controls ensure speed and precision wherever care is delivered.”

Earlier this week, Fujifilm Sonosite introduced its UHF46-20 transducer, which the company touts as the first and only 46MHz ultra-high frequency (UHF) transducer available today in the point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) market.
