Fujifilm Medical Systems has obtained a Class III license from Health Canada for the distribution of its FCR Profect CS computed radiography system for mammography use in Canada.

The device is a multislot, high-resolution, dual-sided reading CR system that utilizes special imaging plates and software that make it capable of performing digital x-ray and mammography, the company said.

FCR Profect CS will be available through the firm's distributor, Christie Group of St-Eustache, Quebec.

(A) A 42-year-old patient with multicentric primary lesions (encircled), regional (solid arrows), and distant inferior jugular lymph node (dashed arrows) seen on F-18 FDG-PET and subsequently confirmed on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also revealed additional malignant foci aligned with MRI. Some lesions exhibited high activity retention on Ga-68 FAPI-PET. (B) A 53-year-old patient showing no significant uptake on F-18 FDG-PET but synchronous bilateral lesions (arrows) on Ga-68 FAPI-PET, which also identified pathologic lymph nodes (encircled), resulting in upstaging.
