Fujifilm releases FCR GO in the U.S.

The FCR Go portable digital x-ray system from Fujifilm Medical Systems USA is now commercially available and is being delivered to customers across the United States.

Fujifilm said that the FCR Go is the first portable digital x-ray system to provide remote users with all of the same functionality and image processing features available at the fixed technologist workstation.

The company said its portable system can be used in nearly every imaging environment including the operating room and neonatal. Additionally, the system accommodates a wireless or hardwired connection to a facility’s network, so the patient worklist is available from the RIS/HIS and images can be transmitted to PACS immediately following study completion for interpretation, Fujifilm said.
