Fujifilm FDR AQRO Portable X-Ray

Video Tour: Watch the FDR AQRO in Action

Watch this video demonstration to see the ultra-lightweight design, effortless wheel rotation, and flexible tube arm movement of the FDR AQRO

Ultra-Lightweight and Highly Maneuverable Design

The Fujifilm FDR AQRO overcomes the physical barriers of traditional bedside imaging by eliminating excess bulk without sacrificing clinical capability.

80% Lighter Than Conventional Mobile Systems

At only 198 lbs (90 kg), the FDR AQRO is nearly 80% lighter than conventional mobile x-ray systems, which typically weigh up to 1,102 lbs (500 kg). The slim chassis stands at just 57.5 inches (1,460 mm) tall, providing technologists with clear, unobstructed visibility during transport through high-traffic hospital corridors or veterinary wards.

360-Degree Rotation for Effortless Navigation in Tight Spaces

Equipped with four independent, 360-degree rotating casters, the system spins effortlessly in place and can be single-handedly positioned inside tight patient bays. Integrated front and back foot latches secure the cart instantly, with an option to lock the rear wheels only to prevent swiveling for easier steering down long halls.

Articulating Control Panel with 180-Degree Rotation

The articulating control panel features a 180-degree rotation range alongside intuitive tilt and height adjustments. This allows the technologist to quickly verify images and adjust acquisition settings from any comfortable angle immediately after exposure.

Versatile Performance for Diverse Clinical Settings

The compact footprint and high-sensitivity design of the FDR AQRO make it uniquely suited to meet the real-world operational challenges of diverse clinical departments.

Critical Care a& ICU Bedside Exams

In intensive care units, maneuvering large equipment around ventilators, IV stands, and monitoring lines is a daily challenge. The FDR AQRO’s narrow 21.65 inches (550 mm) width allows seamless placement directly next to critical care beds, enabling rapid diagnostic chest and abdomen imaging without disturbing life-support configurations.

Pediatric & Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU & PICU)

Imaging pediatric patients requires extreme gentleness, minimal physical disruption, and the lowest possible radiation doses. The FDR AQRO’s ultra-compact footprint allows it to easily slip into crowded sterile fields and neonatal nurseries. The long, lightweight tube arm offers a light, intuitive reach for easy exam positioning over pediatric incubators or cribs without moving fragile patients.

Fast-Paced Emergency & Trauma Bays

When seconds count, the lightweight cart can be rapidly deployed to trauma bays. Technologists can perform rapid sequential exposures of the chest and abdomen by simply sliding the lightweight tube arm or shifting the cart, minimizing exam times for unstable patients.

Sterile Operating Rooms & Surgical Suites

The small footprint allows the system to easily slip into sterile operating fields. The long, lightweight tube arm allows single-handed positioning over surgical tables, while the cableless design makes thorough sanitization quick and simple.

Veterinary Clinics and Specialty Animal Facilities

Veterinary clinics and specialty animal hospitals require mobile imaging that handles unpredictable, non-cooperative patients without causing added stress. The system’s ultra-lightweight, compact build simplifies maneuvering around veterinary treatment tables and inside tight exam rooms. Technicians can quickly position the single-handed tube arm while stabilizing the animal, while low-dose ISS technology provides an exceptional safety margin for both animal patients and holding staff.

High-Resolution Imaging with Low Radiation Dose

By pairing patented flat-panel technology with sophisticated software, the FDR AQRO delivers exceptional diagnostic detail at a fraction of the radiation dose required by older digital systems.

Patented ISS Technology Maximizes Signal Efficiency

Unlike traditional flat-panel detectors, Fujifilm’s FDR D-EVO detectors position the thin-film transistors (TFTs) on the irradiation side. This Irradiation Side Sampling (ISS) design captures the optical signal before it scatters or attenuates, producing ultra-sharp images with high Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) at exceptionally low radiation doses.

Virtual Grid Software Cuts Patient Dose by up to 50%

With Virtual Grid image processing, the system simulates the scatter-reducing effects of a physical grid. This eliminates the need for heavy, alignment-sensitive physical grids, simplifying bedside positioning for the technologist and reducing patient dose by up to 50% compared to grid exams.

Dynamic Visualization II for Instant, Ready-to-Read Images

Dynamic Visualization II automatically adjusts contrast and density across the entire exposure field. The software improves visibility through intelligent data recognition, automatically identifying anatomical structures, foreign objects (like implants, orthopaedic hardware, or lines), and differences in body thickness to produce ready-to-read first-up images, reducing the need for manual PACS adjustments.

Built for High-Volume Clinical Workflows

The FDR AQRO is built to maintain continuous uptime, ensuring your clinical team is always ready to perform diagnostic imaging.

High-Performance Battery Minimizes Downtime

• • Continuous Operation: Up to 12 hours of continuous use on a single charge (assuming a standard throughput of 20 exposures/hour).
  • Rapid Charge Capability: Reaches a full charge in just 4 hours.
  • 15-Minute Quick Charge: Provides up to 1 hour (20 exposures) of emergency operational power.
  • Dual-Power Flexibility: Can be plugged directly into standard AC outlets (100 to 240 V AC) to perform exposures even when the battery is completely depleted.

Secure Detector Storage with Built-In Charging

The built-in detector holder features automatic charging and initialization to keep your digital plates ready at a moment’s notice. A secure, keyed lock safely stows the detector during transport, while the holder’s tilting feature simplifies detector bagging for isolation environments.

Hydro AG Antimicrobial Coating Safeguards Touchpoints

Primary operator surfaces—including the control panel, hand switch, tube arm, and collimator handles—are sealed with Fujifilm’s proprietary Hydro AG antimicrobial coating. This hyper-hydrophilic binder is 99.99% effective against common hospital bacteria, providing 100 times more protection than traditional silver-ion coatings and an added layer of defense against hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
