The iF Design Award 2019: Award winning products 1) Portable X-ray unit CALNEO Xair [iF Gold Award 2019] CALNEO Xair is Fujifilms first portable X-ray unit that can be carried to any point of use with ease. The use of compact and lightweight X-ray tube and battery has successfully reduced its total weight to just 3.5kg for exceptional portability and operability. It allows users to take and check X-ray images easily in places with limited space, such as home health care situation. It can capture high-quality images despite the use of low-dose radiation when combined with a high-sensitivity cassette-size DR unit such as the X-ray diagnostic imaging system FUJIFILM CALNEO Smart which is equipped with Fujifilms proprietary ISS method* and noise-reduction circuit**.

CALNEO Xair can reduce physical strain of doctors and medical staffs who need to carry and set up X-ray equipment for home health care, while also contributing to reducing patients radiation dosage.

* The ISS (Irradiation Side Sampling) is a method in which the sensor (TFT panel) is positioned on the irradiation side. Compared to the conventional FPD (Flat Panel Detector) method, ISS method can convert X-ray energy into optical signals with minimal attenuation, which enable higher efficiency in X-ray energy conversion.

** Electrical circuit that has enhanced capability in sensing X-ray information while reducing noise in X-ray images.
