We provide service, parts, and accessories for Fuji’s line of dry laser imagers. Regardless of your issue we are here to help. We can clear film jams, correct image artifact issues, and adjust configuration settings as needed.

Annual preventive maintenance should be performed on Fuji Drypix dry laser imagers. Doing so will reduce downtime, ensure optimum image quality and prevent abnormal wear on various parts. We inspect the error log for any issues. Print QC images to verify proper film density, resolution, and layout. Clean filters and check cooling fan operation. Check various interlocks ensure the operator is safe from the laser during operation and to also ensure film is not exposed to light. Clean the conveyance rollers, cleaning roller, suction cups, SUS belt, density measurement sections, and heat development unit. Lubricate parts as need. Check for proper grounding and DC voltage. Correct date/time setting.

In addition to preventive maintenance we can perform annual QC for mammography. The inspection is comprised of four majors parts: Inspect mechanical operation (Jamming, Abnormal Sounds), Check for artifacts (banding, scratches, fog, etc), Verify geometry (length and width and location of image on film), Image recording resolution checks (Verify image is being output in fine resolution, check 50 micron resolution pattern)

The Fuji FCR 1 Shot Phantom provides a system wide quality analysis by incorporating eight performance tests in a single exposure. In addition to a practical analysis of the FCR Reader, the test tool provides an image that can be used system wide to evaluate monitor workstation and laser printer performance. Only minutes to expose and interpret, the FCR 1 Shot Phantom has no moving parts and requires no electrical power. The process does not interfere with equipment operation or with patient workflow. A comprehensive QA system, complete with phantom, manual and reporting forms is incorporated into a single package.

Fuji Long View Cassettes

Image taking of a wide area can be done with ease

Fujifilm’s 10″ x 24″, 14″ x 34″, and 14″ x 50″ long view cassettes allow the Imaging Plates (IP) to be loaded and processed on the FCR reader, without manually removing them from the cassette. The lightweight and simplified design makes it easy for radiologists to perform specialized applications without interruption.

The IP need not be transposed to another cassette. All cassettes use a patented design featuring latches at either end of the cassette to promote ease of workflow. The IPs inside the cassettes overlap by 1″ to ensure that no pathology is lost. The cassettes include markers which allow Fujifilm’s stitching software to automatically compose images. Grids, wall stands, and IPs are available separately from the cassette.

• A 10″ x 24″ cassette consists of two interlocked 10″ x 12″ cassettes and requires two 10″ x 12″ IPs for use. ldeal for smaller patients.
• A 14″ x 34″ cassette consists of two interlocked 14″ x 17″ cassettes and requires two 14″ x 17″ IPs for use. Excellent for most scoliosis applications.
• A 14″ x 50″ cassette consists of a special 14″ x 17″ cassette and a 14″ x 34″ cassette. The 14″ x 17″ cassette can be attached to the 14″ x 34″ cassette using a simple latch on either side for easy removal for processing. Three 14″ x 17″ IPs are required for this cassette. Ideal for long leg studies or other applications where a wider view is required.

Instantaneous stitching of multiple IPs

Fujifilm’s Automatic Image Stitching Software enables the displaying of the entire spine or lower extremities on a single image.

• Displays up to three individual images.
• Automatically merges images together by aligning markers on the image. Can be manually adjusted.
• The image is processed and an optimized image is displayed.

Auto-density correction of low density portions of the IP stitched boundaries to obtain a smooth image.

Issues often associated with image stitching software include difficulties in image alignment and variations in density of the composed image. Fujifilm’s comprehensive, advanced image composition processing eliminates manual alignment and compensates for differences in density in the image. Fujifilm’s Image Stitching Software enables faster exam processing, higher diagnostic confidence, and quicker image interpretation.

FDR ES II detectors are the next generation of DR retrofit solutions designed with the essential conveniences of Fujifilm image acquisition and design. Light, portable, affordable detectors can optimize your x-ray room for table and free positioning and table top exams with top-of-the-line image quality. There’s also no need to re-work your existing equipment because FDR ES II fits existing standard Buckys and holders for simple DR and DR panel retrofits. FDR ES II detectors feature 150-micron pixel pitch and a wide 16-bit dynamic range, as well as Fujifilm’s ISS (Irradiated Side Sampling) which provides ultra-sharp imaging with advanced dose efficiency. This exclusive design captures the x-ray image from the incident/patient side of the detector, in contrast to traditional designs which capture the image below the scintillator layer. The result is a reduction in the distance for light to spread, allowing the image to be captured where it’s sharper and stronger as it was always intended.
