FDR D - EVO Detectors:

At the core of the Essentia system lies Fujifilm’s Patented Irradiation Side Sampling (ISS) technology. Unlike traditional detectors, ISS reads data from the side of the detector where the X-ray strikes first. This innovative approach significantly reduces signal scattering and attenuation, resulting in sharper images with lower noise levels. Most importantly, it allows for high-quality imaging at lower radiation doses, enhancing patient safety while delivering the granular detail radiologists require for accurate diagnosis.

The system is designed to work in perfect harmony with Fujifilm’s diverse range of DR detectors, including the FDR D-EVO III, FDR ES, and SE Lite models. The flagship FDR D-EVO III features a revolutionary glass-free film-based TFT design, making it exceptionally lightweight and resistant to drops—ideal for fast-paced clinical environments. For specialized exams involving smaller anatomy or pediatric patients, the system supports smaller 10×12″ and 24x30cm detectors, offering the freedom to position equipment exactly where it is needed for the best possible view.
