Fujifilm reaches FCRm milestone

Fujifilm Medical Systems USA has achieved a milestone for its CR mammography system (FCRm), with more than 500 FCRm units installed in the United States within 18 months of FDA approval. 

Approved for sale in the United States by the FDA in 2006, FCRm gives mammography providers various equipment configuration combinations, from a centrally located multi-plate reader serving several rooms, to a single plate reader installed right in the exam room, Fujifilm said.

The company expects FDA approval of computer-aided detection for CR mammography, when received, will further accelerate FCRm adoption.
