Fujifilm begins work on solid-state mammo detector Women's healthcare director explains fit with CR-based full-field digital and image processing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The company that brought computed radiography to mammography is planning to add a solid-state detector to its portfolio. Fujifilm Medical Systems USA will pursue a plan that uses both approaches to address different segments of the U.S. market, according to its newly hired director of women's healthcare, Jeanine Rader. "I think the company will be uniquely positioned to fulfill demand for full-field digital mammography," Rader said. The underlying strategy for the sale of this still-experimental product alongside Fujifilm's CR-based system is still in the process of being finalized, according to Rader, as is the date such a system might enter the U.S. market. Company executives are deferring such questions until the RSNA meeting, when further details may be available.
