1.1 Features of the FUJIFILM FCR XG-1
The FUJI Computed Radiography System FCR XG-1 performs Digital Radiography by using
an Imaging Plate (IP) as the X-ray detection device. It reads and processes X-ray image
information that is recorded on an IP exposed using a cassette-type X-ray stand and can also
print out hard copies on film using the connected image recorder.
This system provides chest, abdomen, bone, spine, head and other plain X-ray imaging, as
well as spinal canal, bronchial tube, urinary organ, and other contrast medium X-ray imaging
and X-ray tomography.
1 Due to the effects of digital image processing, the system produces radiographs that
have a high diagnostic value and are easy to observe.
2 The system has a wide latitude for incident X-rays so that a large amount of X-ray diagnostic
information is obtained.
3 The system has high sensitivity, resulting in a decrease in the X-ray radiation dose to the
patients.
4 As the system has a wide latitude and an automatic sensitivity adjustment function, its
radiographs are not affected by small changes in X-ray exposure conditions. Therefore,
consistent image density is obtained for all radiographs.
5 Exposure information items that include patient’s data, anatomical regions and exposure
menus can be selected at the CR Console.
6 The automatic feed/load mechanism results in more efficient operation.
7 DICOM output and connection to the FCR Data Management System (Optical Disc Image
Filing Unit, CRT Image Console) are possible via the CR Console.
