-FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of diagnostic and enterprise imaging solutions, today announced the U.S. launch of the FDR Go iQ, an innovative portable digital radiography (DR) solution built for hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. Equipped with intuitive touchscreen controls and a display at the tube head, as well as convenient built-in smart charging, technologists can acquire x-ray room image quality at the patient bedside.

“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 Corporation. “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.”

FDR Go iQ features include:

• a built-in 3D camera with advanced positioning guidance and ability to upgrade to future AI technologies
• intelligent smart charging automated in bin connection keeps the detector powered for extended use
• a touchscreen tube head display and controls, provide advanced positioning and tube alignment guidance, motion detection and exam parameters easily within reach
• an extra-large 19-inch display for confident image verification at the bedside
• a slim and lightweight design at just 22.5 inches wide and 970 pounds for optimized mobility in tight spaces
• mark-free polyurethane wheels and 360-degree swivel casters for smooth travel and turning
• dedicated storage with a detector lock
• convenient detector holding slots at the top of the main body to hold the DR detector securely during bagging and wipe down
• wipes and gloves storage to support fast access and infection controls

The system features innovative technologies to optimize image quality, workflow and patient safety. 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. Additionally, the system’s onboard technologist console features Fujifilm’s proprietary Dynamic Visualization™ II intelligent feature recognition processing which automatically adapts to anatomic characteristics and hardware to produce exceptional images with higher detail and contrast levels throughout.
