Computed Radiography (CR) Systems

Computed Radiography Defined

Computed Radiography (CR) is a type of digital radiology and offers an excellent opportunity to retrofit existing analog radiology equipment to make the transition to digital imaging. CR systems use very similar equipment to conventional radiography except that in place of a film to create the image, an imaging plate is used. The imaging plate is placed under the object to be examined and the x-ray exposure is made. Instead of taking an exposed film into a darkroom for developing in chemical tanks or an automatic film processor, the imaging plate is run through a special laser scanner to read and digitize the image. Within moments, the digital image can then be viewed and enhanced using the CR software and transmitted for storage.

As a result of their affordable price and ease of installation and use, CR systems have quickly become the prevalent means to digitally capture x-ray images for many smaller hospitals, imaging centers and specialty practices.

The Benefits of Computed Radiography Systems

By eliminating the need for harsh chemicals and significantly improving development time and storage, CR systems offer a number of advantages over film-based technologies. CR systems:

Eliminate costly chemicals and resulting hazardous waste
Provide an adaptable image medium
Reduce other consumables that film-based systems require
Protect worker health and safety
Improve productivity by reducing work turn-around time and improving access to priors
Simply storage
Make test results readily available to off-site experts

Computed Radiography Systems from EESi

As an Authorized Dealer of FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc., Essential Enterprise Solutions, Inc. (EESi) helps private practices make the transition to the digital world with the Fujifilm Computed Radiology (FCR) systems. Both the FCR XL-2 and FCR XC-2 have been customized to meet the unique imaging requirements of private practices and offer superior image quality and enhanced throughput in a compact design. Best of all, both systems provide all the advantages of digital x-ray – virtual elimination of repeat exams and lost films, lower storage and management costs, and more options to enhance images.

FUJIFILM - FCR XL-2

With its small form factor and the ability to process up to 92 images per hour, Fujifilm's FCR XL-2 is ideal for practices where higher volume imaging is demanded, yet space is limit. The FCR XL-2 offers 50 micron resolution (10 line pair/mm) making it ideal for orthopedic and extremity applications where seeing fine detail is critical.
