A significant advantage of Fujifilm’s Aspire HD FFDM system will be the exceptional image quality that provides remarkably enhanced detail of potential abnormalities. This is made possible in part by the system’s 50µm pixel resolution, the highest in the industry, along with Image Intelligence™, Fujifilm’s proprietary image processing technology. Additionally, Aspire HD has a proprietary detector that uses the industry’s only dual layer amorphous selenium design, coupled with Fujifilm’s innovative Direct Optical Switching (DOS) technology. While these advancements significantly enhance image quality, they also decrease electronics image noise and heat which results in a more durable and, reliable system that facilities can depend on.
Carestream Health, Inc. Carestream Health received final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its computed radiography system for mammography in November 2010. The CARESTREAM DIRECTVIEW CR Mammography Feature captures mammography images digitally and can be used in the same clinical applications as traditional screen-film mammography systems. Carestream Health’s mammography option is available when purchasing a new CARESTREAM CR system, or as an upgrade to installed models—and can be used for both general radiography and mammography exams.
Carestream Health offers a digital portfolio of women’s healthcare solutions that includes: digitizing systems for converting film images for softcopy comparison; mammography modules for its RIS/PACS platform; a multi-modality breast imaging workstation that allows reading of all breast imaging modalities as well as general radiology exams; CAD solutions; and high-resolution output to DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Systems.
