The FCR PRIMA TM is a compact, table-top CR system designed for mid-to-high volume clinical environments. Its core function is to read imaging plates (IPs) that have been exposed to X-rays and convert that latent image into a high-quality digital diagnostic image.

Benefits:

1. Compact, Space-Saving Design (Table-Top):

   • Unlike larger, floor-standing CR systems, the PRIMA TM is designed to sit on a counter or table next to the X-ray machine, saving valuable floor space in the X-ray room.

2. High-Throughput & Efficiency:

   • Fast Processing: It can process a standard imaging plate (IP) in approximately 47 seconds, allowing for quick patient turnover.

   • Dual-IP Loading: A key feature is its ability to load two standard-sized IPs (e.g., 10" x 12" or 14" x 17") consecutively. This means the technologist can feed two plates in a row without waiting for the first to finish, significantly improving workflow in busy departments.

3. High-Quality Image Processing with ISP (Intelligent Signal Processing):

   • Fujifilm's proprietary ISP technology automatically processes the raw data from the IP to produce a consistent, high-quality diagnostic image with optimal contrast and density.

   • It automatically recognizes the anatomical part and adjusts the processing parameters accordingly, reducing the need for manual re-takes and saving time.

4. Durable & Reliable:

   • The system is built with a robust, high-capacity eraser unit that ensures imaging plates are thoroughly cleared of previous data, preventing ghost images.

   • It's designed for the rigors of daily clinical use in a hospital or diagnostic center setting.

5. User-Friendly Operation:

   • Features a simple, intuitive control panel with a clear display.

   • The insertion of the IP cassette is straightforward, making it easy for technologists to operate with minimal training.

Technical Specifications :

• Type: Table-top Computed Radiography (CR) Reader

• Image Plate Compatibility: Uses Fujifilm's high-resolution, blue-emitting ST-VI / VM-N imaging plates.

• Scanning Time: Approx. 47 seconds per plate (for a 14" x 17" plate at 177 microns).

• Loading Method: Manual insertion of cassettes.

• Maximum Throughput: Supports the consecutive loading of two standard IPs.

• Pixel Size (Resolution): Selectable (e.g., 50, 100, 177, 200 microns) to balance image detail and processing speed based on clinical need.

• Output: Sends high-quality DICOM images directly to a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) or a connected workstation for review and reporting.
