Launched in June, Fujifilm’s new FCT iStream 128-slice computed tomography (CT) system employs advanced technologies and automations to enhance image sharpness, streamline workflow and significantly reduce patient dose. This scanner provides dependable general radiology capabilities, and supports advanced applications including interventional procedures, dual energy acquisitions and basic cardiac CTA. The system’s unique Vision Model iterative reconstruction processing enables dose and image noise reduction, while preserving radiologist preferred image texture. FCT iStream’s iTilt digital gantry tilt combines with its IntelliODM organ dose modulation software to save operator steps while keeping patients’ orbit dose minimized. In addition to its unique dose reduction technologies, FCT iStream leverages HIMAR Plus metal artifact reduction software to detect and correct metal-compromised data. Combining projection data and image data correction, HiMAR Plus delivers excellent image quality, clarifying metal implants and surrounding tissue.Â
