The system combines the best of Fujifilm’s core dose saving technologies such as Irradiation Side Sampling (ISS) and noise reduction circuitry, with Virtual Grid and an all New Dynamic Visualization II image processing to produce exceptional images at gentle dose for all patient sizes and anatomy.

· ASPIRE Cristalle: Fujifilm’s latest advancement in digital mammography includes digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and state-of-the-art dose saving, Hexagonal Close Pattern (HCP) image capture technology. The newest solution optimizes contrast, enables low dose and fast acquisition time, all while providing noticeable patient comfort with Fujifilm’s patented Comfort Paddle.

With easy patient positioning and rapid acquisition time, it simplifies exams for the technologist while lowering dose and discomfort for the patient. With a 17x49” field of view, it can accommodate all patient sizes and help prevent retakes, and when used with Fujifilm’s Virtual Grid, dose can be reduced as much as 50 percent compared to grid exams.
