Fujifilm Showcases Enterprise Imaging Portfolio and AI Initiative at HIMSS 2018

STAMFORD, Conn., March 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- (Booth #6637) – FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., will showcase Enterprise Imaging and Informatics solutions at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society's (HIMSS) Annual Conference and Exhibition, held March 5-9, 2018 in Las Vegas, NV. In addition to its extensive product portfolio, Fujifilm will continue to expand its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Project into the U.S. market. Fujifilm's AI development initiative will harness the power of AI to enhance its Synapse® Enterprise Imaging and Medical Informatics portfolio. For the first time, Fujifilm will introduce its newest brand REiLI, which will represent Fujifilm's global Medical Informatics and Imaging AI technology Initiative.

"Fujifilm has equipped healthcare professionals with tools to enhance patient imaging and the delivery of care for over 80 years. Our technology has evolved with the changing demands of the healthcare industry, bringing us to our next milestone, our Artificial Intelligence Research Project," said Johann Fernando, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer of FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. "We've been working collaboratively with some of our partners to develop and expand our artificial intelligence capabilities with the goal of aiding physicians in an even more impactful way in the coming years."

Fujifilm's Artificial Intelligence Research Project is based in Raleigh, North Carolina – the global development headquarters for Fujifilm's Synapse Enterprise Imaging portfolio - in collaboration with FUJIFILM Corporation's development team in Tokyo that will provide a wide range of image recognition technologies. Fujifilm will partner with its strategic customers in the U.S. market to draw upon clinical insights and expertise to bridge AI applications to imaging informatics solutions. In an increasingly complex healthcare environment with massive datasets and rising demand for high quality care, AI technology will have the potential to change the practice of medicine.

"We've received very positive feedback from healthcare professionals that have already seen live demonstrations of our Artificial Intelligence Research Project, and specifically the speed and depth of integrated workflow achieved with our new Synapse 5 server-side PACS system*," said Bill Lacy, Vice President of Medical Informatics at FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. "As we focus initially on radiology, and with a clear focus on supporting and collaborating with radiologists, not replacing them, artificial intelligence technology can help radiologists aggregate PHI faster for more informed decisions, and prioritize their work and time more effectively.

* These integrations with Synapse 5 will be made commercially available in the US upon receipt of FDA Clearance.
