FUJIFILM UNVEILS BREAST IMAGING DIAGNOSTIC WORKSTATION.Fujifilm Medical Systems USA, Inc., Stamford, Conn., has unveiled the Breast Imaging Diagnostic Workstation (BIDW BIDW Business Intelligence Data Warehouse ). Available for any U.S. facility that has implemented Full Field Digital Mammography digital mammography Imaging The capture of mammographic images on a digital grid Pros ↑ resolution and clarity than conventional mammography; DM is of use as a screening technique, and allows faster, earlier, and more accurate detection of early breast (FFDM FFDM Full Field Digital Mammography FFDM Failed Fuel Dismantling Machine ), the BIDW is being introduced specifically to complement Fujifilm's Computed Radiography radiography: see X ray. for Mammography mammography, diagnostic procedure that uses low-dose X rays to detect abnormalities in the breasts. The early diagnosis of breast cancer made possible by the routine use of mammography for screening women increases a woman's treatment alternatives and improves her (FCRm) solution and provide better workstation interpretation capabilities for facilities that may use another vendor's PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. . Delivering full Synapse synapse (sĭn`ăps), junction between various signal-transmitter cells, either between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle or gland. A nerve impulse reaches the synapse through the axon, or transmitting end, of a nerve cell, or neuron. (R) PACS functionality, this new standalone workstation is designed to be a supplement to any facility's existing PACS, and meet the market need for more clinically and operationally advanced systems to support breast imaging. "As more and more facilities adopt digital mammography, there is an increased need for PACS that provide the specialized features and advanced technologies that are so vital to the interpretation of full field digital mammography exams," explained Jim Morgan, Fujifilm's Director of Network Systems. "Synapse is an advanced PACS that is uniquely capable of providing the diagnostic and clinical tools that radiologists demand for FFDM. The Breast Imaging Diagnostic Workstation will now enable customers that might already have an existing PACS to benefit from full Synapse capabilities and additional features specifically designed for digital mammography when interpreting their FFDM studies." Fujifilm's Breast Imaging Diagnostic Workstation (BIDW) was designed with not only clinical, but operational and integration needs in mind. In addition to providing Fujifilm's renowned image quality, it also offers the ability to support CAD, MQSA MQSA Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 overlays and provides Fujifilm's patented reading protocol technology for efficient reading workflow. Upon image acquisition all FFDM studies are automatically sent to the BIDW where image display is available in seconds and prior studies can be accessed for comparison, all ensuring optimal operational efficiency is maintained for radiologists. This functionality is not limited to breast imaging, because it is Synapse PACS. Furthermore, the BIDW can be completely integrated with all other radiology systems, including any mammography specific reporting systems, RIS RIS rabies inhibiting substance. and PACS.
