Fujifilm’s FCR Go 
Fujifilm Medical Systems (Booth 4039) is unveiling its works in progress Unity SpeedSuite-fp. This DR system can perform a variety of exams with a single detector, providing the same clinical flexibility and productivity as its predecessor, but now with Fujifilm's patented Focused Phosphor Detector Technology for premium image quality and excellent DQE performance. The Unity SpeedSuite-fp is not yet FDA 510(k) cleared for sale in the U.S.

Fujifilm’s FCR Go is leading the company’s complete line of CR systems. Introduced at RSNA 2007 and available since July 2008, the FCR Go is an intelligently designed portable digital x-ray system that extends image quality and productivity to remote users. With image availability beginning in only 12 seconds and use of light-weight cassettes in multiple sizes—not a tethered detector—the FCR Go has the flexibility to be used in virtually any imaging environment.
