Fujifilm India unveils mobile digital radiology system
01 March 2021 | News The lightweight and compact FDR Nano has achieved approximately 80 per cent reduction in its total weight as compared to traditional mobile X-rays
Fujifilm India Private Limited has announced the launch of its mobile digital radiology system – FDR nano. Offering high-resolution imaging with low X-ray doses in healthcare settings, this new digital radiology technology enables a noise reduction circuits that in turn, improves the granularity of low-density regions, and achieves high image quality.
The lightweight and compact FDR Nano has achieved approximately 80 per cent reduction in its total weight as compared to traditional mobile X-rays. The high-performance built-in Li-on battery enables 12 hours of continuous use at 20 shots per hour and radiology can be performed even when the battery is empty by simply using the ac power cord. By

Capturing details of brain cells on a nanometre scale, researchers have uncovered evidence that the neurons of people with schizophrenia could have unique differences in thickness and curvature, and this might even account for some of their symptoms.
The finding comes from an analysis on just a small handful of donors, and is a long way from demonstrating how contrasting nerve cell structures might explain the neurological condition.
But as our understanding of these unusual characteristics grows, it could lead to better methods of treatment, helping give tens of millions around the world a better quality of life.
The study, led by researchers from Tokai University in Japan, made use of two different X-ray microscope technologies, one at the SPring-8 light source facility in Japan, the other at the US Department of Energy s Advanced Photon Source (APS).
Ultrasound News: Reimagining the Sonography Lab

One of the top-ranked programs at Kettering College in Kettering, Ohio, is sonography. Kettering’s students have access to a lab that mimics a real-life hospital setting, with seven learning stations set up around the room, each featuring a patient bed, ultrasound machine, and a flat-panel, medical-grade HD display. Unfortunately, the technology in the sonography lab was overly complicated and often faulty, causing students and faculty members to become increasingly frustrated with using certain stations, ultimately depreciating the intent of the real-life learning experience. That became the genesis of a reimagined lab that would simplify and improve the experience for all involved. According to Susan Price, PhD, a professor and the director of the medical sonography program at Kettering College, when outlining the wants and needs for the sonography lab project, leaders of the depa

Over 400 illegally imported live ants have been seized by local customs.
A package, said to be material for dentistry, showed abnormalities when X-rayed. Staff at Shanghai Post Office Customs opened it and found 406 ants, each 2 centimeters long, in small plastic tubes along with moist cotton and air vents.
The smuggled ants have been transferred to the relevant department for disposal, customs said.
