Fuji expands U.S. x-ray imaging operations
In a strong indication that its x-ray film business is healthy and growing, Fuji Photo Film has embarked on a $300-million expansion of its manufacturing and distribution operations in Greenville, SC. The project includes two new manufacturing facilitiesone for color photographic film and photographic paper, the other for x-ray film finishingand a major extension to the companys existing distribution center. Fuji plans to have the two new factories up and running early next year.
The move is expected to have a positive impact on Fuji Medical Systems conventional and digital x-ray imaging businesses and its enterprise-wide image and information management systems business, according to Clay Larsen, managing director of marketing for Fuji Medical Systems USA, which opened a U.S. manufacturing facility for digital medical imaging equipment and software last August. In particular, it should complement the companys efforts to help customers transition to a filmless environment.
Many customers dont want to treat computed radiography, digital x-ray, and PACS separately, Larsen said. They want to bundle film and CR or CR and PACS or put them all together into a plan to transition from film and lasers to CR and PACS. What a lot of people dont realize is that, as customers go to digital x-ray, there are going to have to be interim printing solutions before they go completely filmless.

Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
