CR to DR Upgrade - Replace Your Fujifilm CR Reader

Product notice

Fujifilm FCR Carbon CR readers are discontinued

Fujifilm no longer supports the FCR Carbon line, including the FCR Carbon XL-2, and replacement parts are no longer available. If your practice still images on one of these readers, a single part failure can stop your X-ray service with no repair path. We recommend planning your move to DR now, on your schedule, rather than after a breakdown.

Why Upgrade Now

What moving from CR to DR changes for your practice

No parts, no repair

Fujifilm has discontinued the FCR Carbon line and replacement parts are no longer available. When a reader fails, it may not come back.

Keep your X-ray room

A DR retrofit panel fits the standard Buckys and holders you already have, so the generator and table stay in place.

Seconds, not minutes

DR sends the image to the screen in seconds. No cassette trips, no plate reading, no waiting between patients.

Lower dose

Fujifilm ISS detectors deliver sharper images at lower dose. Fujifilm rates the FDR ES II at up to 30% less dose than CR.

No plates to wear out

Imaging plates scratch and degrade over time. A DR detector removes the cassette and plate handling entirely.

Works with your PACS

We connect the new DR system to your existing PACS or set up EvoView PACS, so your image archive carries over.

Three Paths From CR to DR

We recommend the one that fits your room, volume and budget

Path 1 · Most popular

Keep your room: FDR ES II retrofit

The simplest move from CR to DR

Replace the CR cassettes with a Fujifilm FDR ES II wireless detector. It fits the Buckys and holders you already own, and SmartSwitch automatic exposure detection means most rooms need no generator interface.

Sizes: 10×12, 14×17 and 17×17 in
Up to 30% less dose than CR (Fujifilm rating)
