FUJIFILM Healthcare Europe collaborates with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh

FUJIFILM Healthcare Europe, a leading provider of medical imaging solutions, has become an organizational partner of the Faculty of Remote, Rural and Humanitarian Healthcare (FRRHH), part of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. The Faculty aims to improve the health outcomes of people living and working in remote, rural, austere and life-threatening areas of the world, a goal complemented by Fujifilm's portable imaging technologies that provide access to diagnostic imaging for patients in remote locations.

Access to medical imaging in remote or rural locations can often be difficult, resulting in missed appointments or delayed diagnosis of medical problems. For example, on remote islands – such as the Western Isles – patients often incur significant time and financial costs traveling to the mainland to receive imaging.

Likewise, patients on ships at sea can be days away from the nearest port. Fujifilm offers a range of imaging solutions – including the FDR nano and FDR Xair mobile X-ray systems and the iViz™ wireless ultrasound – that help bring imaging solutions closer to the patient. Masaharu Fukumoto, Managing Director at FUJIFILM Healthcare Europe, said: “We are pleased to support FRRHH’s important work benefiting people in remote and rural areas.

All patients should have access to quality healthcare, wherever they live, and we are pleased that our imaging technologies can help achieve this goal. For example, our FDR Nano mobile X-ray system is smaller and lighter than traditional mobile X-ray systems, making it perfect for local clinics that may not have their own X-ray area and need to move equipment between rooms.

The FDR Xair portable X-ray system is completely portable and can be used in pop-up health centers or delivered to patients by a radiographer. Similarly, the iViz wireless ultrasound is the size of a cell phone and easy to use, even for non-sonographers. Therefore, it is a useful tool for clinicians working in remote locations.

Together, these solutions make medical imaging more accessible to patients who have difficulty accessing traditional healthcare facilities.” For more information about Fujifilm's portable imaging technologies, visit https://www.fujifilm.com/de/en/healthcare.
