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.

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.
