Fujifilm launches new PRIMA-T CR
Tuesday, February 14th, 2012
Compact and lightweight table top unit provides facilities affordable upgrade to digital X-ray
Kane X-ray is very excited about the launch of FUJIFILM’s new PRIMA-T CR digital x-ray reader. The new compact, table-top CR system was created specifically to meet the x-ray needs of low volume private practices with throughput speeds 25% faster than its predecessor.
The compact PRIMA-T measures less than 2 ft. x 2 ft. making it one of the smallest table-top systems on the market. Weighing only 86 lbs. the unit fits most table-top environments (though an optional cart is available).
The speed of the PRIMA-T is improved over previous models. The new CR can produce up to 55 14×17 images per hour in fast scan, 200 micron mode. For smaller cassettes, it can produce up to 66 8×10 images per hour.
PRIMA-T will come with specialty-specific cassette packages and Fuji’s FlashIIP acquisition console (though the new FDX console is planned for later 2012). Kane X-ray plans to combine the PRIMA-T with the Medstrat PACS image archive server and the anytime, anywhere Medstrat echoes viewing application.
According to a Fuji press release, “the [PRIMA-T] is designed to eliminate any existing barriers to the adoption of digital x-ray.” (visit press release) Kane X-ray agrees. “We have plenty of customers still using film since the right transition to digital just wasn’t available,” said Kane’s CEO, Jake Thompson. “Everyone knows how digital improves image quality, cuts consumable costs, and helps the environment – the PRIMA-T may just be the right product to help our customers go digital.”
Kane X-ray is hoping to begin demonstrating the PRIMA-T in March 2012. For more information please use the Contact Us form or call 1-800-238-8074.

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012
Edging to be the most accurate x-ray calibration service in the area
Kane X-ray’s service team has added the new all-in-one, multi-function meter – RTI’s Piranha.
The Piranha is one of the most sophisticated test meters available and is built to assure a calibration service has the most accurate results. It is an extremely sensitive detector, capable of measuring on even low-output mini C-arms and Mammography.
Powered by bluetooth connectivity and RTI’s Ocean software – Kane’s service team can perform important x-ray calibrations of mA, mAs, Time, kVp, Linearty, Reproducibility, Half-Value Layer (HVL), Collimator LUX, as well as others in a timely and precise manner.
“Kane X-ray has made this unprecedented investment in our technology to ensure our customer’s equipment stays not only in regulatory compliance, but also is the most accurate imaging equipment in the region,” said Jake Thompson, Kane’s CEO. “We get that our customers depend on their equipment to diagnose and treat health concerns, therefore the quality of the image has to be as perfect as we can get it. The Piranha means our calibration service is one of the most accurate in the area now. Plus it’s very cool.”
