Fujifilm to highlight enterprise imaging, AI at SIIM 2018

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. announced Wednesday, May 30, that it will be exhibiting its full enterprise imaging portfolio—including Synapse 5 PACS, Synapse 3D and Synapse VNA—and highlighting a new brand, REiLI, at the SIIM 2018 Annual Meeting May 31-June 2 in National Harbor, Maryland. REiLI represents the company’s medical informatics and artificial intelligence (AI) initiative.

“The theme of this year’s SIIM, ‘inspiring collaboration,’ is also the fuel powering REiLI,” said Bill Lacy, vice president of medical informatics at FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., in a prepared statement. “Through REiLI, we draw on insights from our strategic customers in the U.S. market to ensure our AI platform development, and our AI-enabled informatics applications, will deliver the most impactful and meaningful use cases for enterprise imaging.”

Attendees will also be invited to take part in a hands-on demo of many of the company’s solutions. Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. will be located at booth #507 during the conference. More information is available on the company’s SIIM-focused website.
