STAMFORD, Conn., March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of diagnostic imaging products with a comprehensive portfolio of women's health solutions, today announced that it has fulfilled all FDA regulatory requirements for three new image processing and software advancements for its digital mammography system, ASPIRE Cristalle. Specifically, S-View, Iterative Super-resolution Reconstruction (ISR), and Tomosynthesis Spot—innovative tools designed to meet the dual challenge of higher image quality and lower dose — are now commercially available in the United States.

The ASPIRE Cristalle system with these latest features will be showcased at Fujifilm's booth at both the National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCoBC) conference (booth #306) in March and the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) Symposium (booth #219) in April.

"The availability of these latest software advancements for ASPIRE Cristalle marks another milestone in Fujifilm's commitment to supporting clinicians in their battle against breast cancer," said Susan Crennan, Women's Health Product Marketing Manager, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. "With improved visualization as well as the ability to clearly see targeted areas of concern, we are excited to be able to offer U.S. physicians these new tools to enhance their screening and diagnostic workflows."

The following three new features were designed for the ASPIRE Cristalle with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT):

S-View: Enabling radiologists to view a synthesized 2D image reconstructed from DBT, a S-View image can be used together with tomosynthesis slice image for both screening and diagnosis. The tool provides a high level of detail but low noise within the synthetic image, delivering images that are similar in appearance to 2D. By using S-View images instead of dedicated 2D, it is possible to reduce dose as much as about 50 percent for examinations*.

Iterative Super-resolution Reconstruction (ISR): A new reconstruction process derived from auto-recognition technologies, ISR aims to improve both image detail and noise characteristics compared to filtered backprojection techniques. An improvement on conventional iterative reconstruction techniques, ISR reconstructs images at a finer resolution than the readout data, leading to enhanced detail and reduced noise without compromising the speed of image acquisition.

Tomosynthesis Spot: Developed for an advanced view for tomosynthesis images, the technique focuses compression for a precise visualization of a specific area of concern.
