Fujifilm releases 17x17 inch wireless detector

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. has released the new FDR D-EVO Wireless 17x17 inch flat panel detector.

Stamford, Conn.-based Fujifilm Medical Systems said the new larger format and wireless design should make it easier to image larger patients as well as patients on stretchers or in wheelchairs.

Additional features of the detector are Fujifilm’s Dynamic Visualization image processing software, an auto-trimming feature and a power supply that provides up to three hours or 200 exposures of use per charge. A multi-charger system with two spare batteries is also included.
