Only FFDM vendor to provide flexible configurations and fully scalable solution to meet any facility's needs

Chicago, IL. - November 25, 2007 - FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc., the dominant worldwide leader in Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) installations with more than 4,000 Fuji Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) readers installed around the globe, is pleased to announce another record sales quarter. FCRm is uniquely scalable and flexible in its design, enabling Fujifilm to meet the individual FFDM needs of any breast screening facility, regardless of size or image management requirements.

For breast imaging facilities looking to implement FFDM, Fujifilm - with two FCRm image reader options - is unique in its ability to deliver FFDM to accommodate any workflow and throughput needs, while still delivering the company's renowned image quality. And when needs go beyond the acquisition modality, combining FCRm with Fujifilm's industry-leading SynapseŽ PACS assures delivery of an acquisition-to-archive solution which is easily scaled to address the requirements of a large IDN with multiple sites, a single screening room at a small imaging center, or any size facility in between.

Fujifilm continues to demonstrate its leadership in FFDM and is the fastest growing digital mammography solution in the U.S. From coast to coast, facilities of all sizes continue to implement FCRm, with users reinforcing its viability.

"A long time Fujifilm digital x-ray and Synapse PACS customer, we are well aware of the company's history of delivering quality imaging and continued product innovation. So FCRm was the clear FFDM choice for us. Not only does FCRm deliver confidence with Fujifilm's high quality diagnostic images, but it fit seamlessly into our existing digital environment providing a cost-effective, end-to-end FFDM solution."

"Having several facilities each with a unique set of requirements, we needed an FFDM solution that would enable us to simultaneously transition each screening room from analog to digital. Fujifilm was the only digital mammography provider that could assure us a high quality, completely configurable economic solution. We couldn't be more pleased with FCRm and our ability to offer all patients the benefits of digital."

"Fujifilm CR for Mammography was clearly the logical choice for FFDM. It not only gave us the greatest flexibility in converting our office and satellites, but we now offer patients the highest resolution digital mammography of any breast imaging service in the area. Additionally, a very important benefit of FCRm is its ability to use either the large or small image receptor, which we consider essential for optimal mammographic positioning."
