FUJIFILM Introduces XG2000 Two-Cassette CR System
by Barbara Kram, Editor | June 11, 2007
FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc. has made available the XG2000, a revolutionary digital x-ray system designed to meet the workflow needs of facilities requiring a true two cassette-slot CR reader. It is the only CR product on the market that can be field-upgraded to four cassette slots when patient capacities demand a higher volume system.
"The XG2000 is one of the most innovative CR systems ever brought to market," said Penny Maier, Fujifilm's National Marketing Manager, Digital X-ray. "With this digital x-ray system we've introduced a number of unique features, like the ability to be field-upgraded for higher capacity and two cassette insertion slots for redundancy. When combined with the high throughput and uncompromised image quality that Fujifilm is known for, these features make the XG2000 tough for competitors to rival. We're already seeing great demand for this system."
Fujifilm's innovative system design offers facilities a number of unique advantages:
* Redundancy - Two independent cassette insertion slots ensure continuous uptime
* Quality - Unique minimal contact cassette design ensures the cassette is not ingested into the reader, preventing foreign objects and dust that can cause image artifacts and compromise durability
* Performance - Life of the imaging plates (IPs) is extended and image quality is maintained by the use of an internal brush that automatically cleans the optics
* Speed - The XG2000 is faster than any reader in its class, processing 40 more images per hour than competitive products
For facilities with workflows that demand maximum throughput, the XG2000 also offers Fujifilm's Fast Scan* mode. Available with both the XG2000 and the XG5000 (the four cassette slot version of the XG2000) Fast Scan mode increases the throughput of these high capacity systems even further. When enabled, throughput is increased by more than 18 percent, processing 122 14"x17" imaging plates per hour with image preview beginning in only 11 seconds.
The XG2000 is currently available in the U.S. and has already been installed at several locations.
