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.

The tests included with this phantom are:

• Relative Sensitivity (S#) Calibration Test – Confirms the consistency and calibration of the x-ray exposure inits and PMT of the CR image reader.
• Shading Test – Confirms the uniformity of the CT light guide and optics.
• Contrast Evaluation – Confirms the consistency of the x-ray exposure unit, image proessing of the CR image reader, workstation display and hardcopy printer.
• Sharpness Test – Confirms the x-ray tubes performance, CR Reader optics, monitor display and hardcopy printer.
• Laser Jitter Test – Confirms the consistency of the CR Reader, laser printer optics and transport systems.
• Image Noise / Artifact Test – Confirms the uniformity of the x-ray beam, condition of the imaging plates, dirt or other foreign matter on the CR Reader light guide, monitor degradation, and film processor artifact.
• Primary Erasure of Imaging Plate Test – Confirms proper performance of the CR image reader erasure lamp mechanism.
• Accuracy of Measurement Tools/Scale Test – Confirms accuracy of workstation measurement tools and image printer scale.
• System Linearity Test – Confirms EDR function and CR image reader linearity.

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.

Integrated Control Station CS-7

CS-7 has multiple functions which provide you useful workflow.

• Control AeroDR detectors and KonicaMinolta CR devices.
• Send patient images to PACS and Dry Imagers.
• Obtain examination information from RIS and send back each result.
• Link up X-ray exposure condition with X-ray console.
• Write patients images on CD/DVD with DICOM, PDI and JPEG format.

Quick Preview and smart GUI

After exposure, a preview image immediately appears on the display of the CS-7 console in less than two seconds. The CS-7 has a user –friendly graphic interface adding powerful proprietary functions.
GUI design can be modified to customer preferences flexibly, succeeding the conventional console design.

• Dynamic Visualization is Fujifilm’s latest image processing technology, providing outstanding first-up detail and virtually eliminating the need for post-processing.
• Complete common workflow steps in as few as 2-3 mouse clicks
• Worklist views with status icons and thumbnail images
• Double click full-screen zoom
• PICC line/edge enhancement toggle
• Dose tracking and management tools
• Supports Windows 10

Dose optimization features

• Customizable menus help simplify dose-saving techniques.
• Exposure Index (EI) and Deviation Index (DI) guides and tracks deviation from preferred exposure conditions for each exam.
• EI and DI values can be sent in DICOM headers, allowing low dose initiative monitoring.

• Multi-Accession opens multiple studies with separate accessions for the same patient in one acquisition screen.
• Auto trimming simplifies offset imaging by automatically detecting the exposure area. The true sized cropped image is sent to PACS, for optimal image display size at both workstations.
• Region of Interest (ROI) image adjustment — unique 2-point ROI function that reprocesses images instantly based on user-selected points of interest.
• Image Stitching (optional) for DR and CR automatically combines multiple adjoining images into a single long length image for scoliosis and long leg studies.

Image Intelligence – Advanced Image Processing
Aspire CRm takes full advantage of Fujifilm’s Image Intelligence processing: a renowned collection of sophisticated algorithms and proven results. Dynamic Range Control (DRC) improves the visibility of dense and soft tissue by intelligently adjusting both image density and contrast. Multi-objective Frequency Processing (MFP) selectively applies varying degrees of gray scale and edge enhancement to each structure, depending on size, density and type, for an optimized view with enhanced detail.
