Fujifilm introduces breast imaging diagnostic workstation

Fujifilm Medical Systems USA has introduced the breast imaging diagnostic workstation (BIDW), which is currently available for any U.S. facility that has implemented full field digital mammography (FFDM).

The BIDW is being introduced specifically to complement Fujifilm’s CR for mammography (FCRm) solution and is designed to be a supplement to any facility’s existing PACS, and meet the market need for more clinically and operationally advanced systems to support breast imaging, according to Fujifilm.

The workstation also offers the ability to support CAD, MQSA overlays and provides Fujifilm’s patented reading protocol technology. Upon image acquisition all FFDM studies are automatically sent to the BIDW where image display is available in seconds and prior studies can be accessed for comparison, all ensuring optimal operational efficiency is maintained for radiologists. 

The functionality is not limited to breast imaging and the workstation can be completely integrated with all other radiology systems, including any mammography specific reporting systems, RIS and PACS, Fujifilm said.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
