Mobile X-ray diagnostic imaging system is already common in hospitals. The mobile equipment can be taken to the bedside of patients who cannot be moved to an X-ray room due to physical difficulties or during an operation. However, many of the current models are large as they need to be equipped with various components, such as an electric motor to travel long corridors to different wards, and high output power for different types of imaging. For this reason, there has been strong demand for a lightweight and compact system that can easily be used in emergency rooms, ICUs, and other medical facilities with limited space.

To respond to such demand, Fujifilm released its mobile X-ray diagnostic imaging system FUJIFILM DR CALNEO AQRO, in 2016. CALNEO AQRO is equipped with our exclusive image processing technology to realize a high image quality using only a small dose of radiation. This low-dose alleviates the physical burden placed on patients, as well as enabling the power source and X-ray system to be significantly downsized. As a result, the weight has been reduced to one-fifth that of conventional models. (*) This compact and lightweight product offers high mobility, providing the best workflow in medical environments with limited space. This weight reduction and downsizing were achieved through our advanced technologies, aiming to deliver significant improvements in the usability of digital X-ray systems in the medical situation where prompt examination is critical. Not only functionally exceptional, the beautiful design of the product also won the Good Design Award 2016 from the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.

Since the launch of the world's first digital X-ray system, FCR, in 1983, Fujifilm has continued to secure the largest market share of digital medical diagnostic imaging systems across the world. We contribute to improving medical quality and diagnostic efficiency through our advanced and exclusive technologies to reduce radiation dosages and respond to other needs on the medical situation.

* Assuming the weight of general mobile radiography systems to be between 400 kg and 600 kg.
