FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc. Enjoys Consecutive Year of Record FCRm Sales

STAMFORD, Conn., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year in a row, FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc. has achieved record sales of Fuji Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm), further demonstrating its leadership in the breast imaging arena. FUJIFILM's ability to reach a milestone of 500 accredited unit sales in the U.S. within 18 months of FDA approval solidifies its status as the dominant worldwide leader in FFDM installations.

Approved for sale in the U.S. by the FDA in 2006, FCRm presents mammography providers with various equipment configuration combinations, from a centrally located multi-plate reader serving several rooms, to a single plate reader installed right in the exam room. This system flexibility, combined with validated image quality and ease of use for technologists, has made FCRm particularly ideal for large screening facilities. These facilities recognize the value of simultaneously transitioning all of their screening rooms from analog to digital instead of being economically constrained to a room-by-room conversion, or working in a less-than-optimal hybrid film/digital environment.

FUJIFILM expects that when received, the FDA approval of CAD (computer aided detection) for CR mammography will accelerate adoption of this technology even further.
