Fuji releases FDR D-EVO Cesium wireless detector

Fujifilm Medical Systems FDR D-EVO Cesium portable flat panel detector is now commercially available in the U.S.

The detector features Fujifilm’s irradiation side sampling technology which reduces the distance for light signals to reach the sensor and in turn reduces scatter and blur. Cesium achieves as much as 20 percent higher detective quantum efficiency compared with conventional flat panel detectors, according to Stamford, Conn.-based Fujifilm.
