The big news for Fuji in 2006 was the company's receipt of marketing clearance for its FCRm computed-radiography-based digital mammography system. Also look for Stamford, CT-based Fuji to discuss recent advancements to its line of CR products.
Fuji became the first company to win clearance for CR-based digital mammography when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration signed off on the company's premarket approval (PMA) application in July. Mammography observers believe that CR mammography will enable many more facilities to begin adopting digital mammography due to its lower price compared to flat-panel-based digital mammography systems.
Outside of the mammography segment, Fuji is planning to introduce new upright and table DR systems featuring improved image clarity and higher spatial resolution.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard.
