Earlier this year, FUJIFILM released a new radiography and fluoroscopy system called the Persona RF PREMIUM. The new system, which has a 584-pound capacity, comes with a video camera in the collimator, to allow technologists to verify patient positioning without using fluoro, and its workstation automatically maps exam selections to automated table positions to help simplify and speed exam times, said Rob Fabrizio, director of strategic marketing, medical imaging, for FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation.
It incorporates a 17-by-17-inch DR detector, bringing DR dose efficiency, image quality, speed and a much larger field of view.
“It’s a great multipurpose solution for any hospital looking to upgrade their fluoro or R/F system,” Fabrizio said.

The company is also expanding the lineup of their D-EVO III detector, a glass-free, cesium detector that Fabrizio said is a pound or more lighter than conventional detectors.
The detector is available in 14-by-17-inch, 17-by-17-inch and 24-by-30-centimeter sizes, and has Fujifilm’s exclusive antibacterial coating called Hydro AG, which regenerates its germ-killing silver ions to the surface when wiped down.
The company also recently revamped its flagship automated positioning Visionary Suite x-ray room with new functionality and configuration choices. The room is now also available as a fully manual system with an overhead tube that Fabrizio said is ultra-lightweight to speed workflow, and dramatically lightens the load for X-ray technologists.
Advanced applications, such as digital tomosynthesis, dual-energy subtraction and auto-stitching on the table and upright can be added.
GE Healthcare
Over the past year, GE Healthcare introduced two new X-ray systems, which the company says are designed to address the challenges faced by technologists and overburdened radiology departments.
The AMX Navigate, is a new portable, digital X-ray system designed with a power-assisted Free Motion telescoping column that aims to reduce lift force by up to 70 percent to help decrease technologist injury during positioning and transport. It also includes Zero Click Exam, a new workflow solution designed to increase efficiency by automating workflow and reducing user interface interactions.
The AMX platform includes Critical Care Suite 2.0, an AI technology designed to help radiologists prioritize critical cases by identifying critical finings at the point of care.
Company representatives traveled to a spot in California’s Mojave Desert called Furnace Creek, known as the hottest place on earth, to test the AMX Navigate under extreme conditions.
