Mississauga, Ontario – WEBWIRE

“Fujifilm is a company of ‘firsts’ in diagnostic imaging. In 1936, we began manufacturing X-ray films; and in 1983, we pioneered the first digitized radiography system in the world,”

FUJIFILM Canada Inc., today announced the establishment of the new Medical Systems Division. The sales structure of the new division is expected to greatly expand the commercialization of Fujifilm state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging systems and make available the latest technologies to hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers in Canada.

The Fujifilm range of medical equipment provides versatility to meet a variety of clinical demands. In addition, Fujifilm DR is also suited for unique patient needs – including pediatrics ­– with its advanced image processing designed to improve image quality and dose efficiency. In the near future, FUJIFILM Canada Inc., Medical Systems Division plans to introduce a broad range of DR and women’s health solutions including a variety of portable X-ray systems, a complete DR suite, a new generation of flat panel detectors and a full field digital mammography solution with digital breast tomosynthesis.*
