but also includes a rugged carrying case for field use such as nursing
homes and military
Where does it fit in?

Automatic X-ray Beam detection
How good is it?

According to Fuji's own Specifications:

• Draining the detector batteries
– 50% reduction in battery life
• Limiting the exposure technique and collimation settings
– No exposures below 10mA current allowed
– No exposures below 5ms time allowed – limiting typical exams of Pediatrics
(Germany)
– Recommending collimation outside of region-of-interest –> potentially giving
higher dose to patient
