Fujifilm releases DR system

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. has released the FDR D-EVO Suite II.

The system can utilize any Fujifilm FDR D-EVO detectors interchangeably, including the 17 x 17 model, according to Fujifilm.

The suite also features a touchscreen on the tube head that can be used to make system adjustments traditionally made from the generator console. This allows technologists to stay with the patient at the table while making simple exam adjustments, according to the company.
