‘Amulet”, derived from the Latin word “amuletum” means “an object that protects a person from troubles, brings good luck and fortune”.
Fujifilm supports a healthy fulfilling life for all women hence, has innovated Amulet- the guardian of women’s healthcare.
“Amulet” is Fujifilm’s latest full field digital mammography that employs a newly developed direct-conversion flat panel detector (FPD) with world’s smallest* pixel size, 50 µm. This enhances visualisation of the breast and offers greater details of abnormal areas such as micro calcification and tumours, thus helping more accurate diagnosis.
Features
- Greatly enhanced breast imaging capability with CE and USFDA approved FFDM Amulet.
- The world’s smallest pixel pitch of 50µm*-Direct-conversion FPD system
- FPD has two size variations. 18 x 24 cm, 24 x 30 cm
- Exclusive FUJIFILM technology: Direct Optical Switching feature a dual layer of amorphous selenium (a-Se)
- Fujifilm’s new patented flat panel detector offers superior DQE, achieving both higher image quality and lower radiation dose.
- Optimised workflow and quick, comfortable examination.
- Shorter intervals between exposure.
- The ergonomic design of the system offers comfort for women for different positioning.
- Armrests offer full and well-balanced support.
- The handles allow optimum stability for CC view and secure support of the body MLO view.
- Specially designed AWS integrated with X-ray exposure control offers a more effective environment for mammography examination.
- A valuable digital support system—the most advanced digital mammography CAD system

Mammography QC programme for digital mammography with superior quality and reliability
FUJIFILM Mammography QC programme is a dedicated quality control (QC) programme applicable to the both FCR and FDR mammography system based on IEC61223-3-2 Ed. 2.0. This QC programme enables quantitative measurements, visual inspections and functional checks on the entire mammography system through the installation test, followed by daily/weekly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual tests. This programme provides the ability to detect gradual changes in the entire mammography system before potential problems occur and thus enables the system to keep a stable image quality for both screening and diagnostic mammography.
3d mammography viewer: Mammography enters a new stage of diagnosis
Fujifilm’s 3D mammography creates 3D images by using two high resolution images taken from different angles. One of these images is a conventional 2D image. The images are presented on a special viewer. 3D images enable the internal anatomical breast structures to be identified more clearly as compared to a 2D image. This is possible due to tissue separation and micro calcifications stratification. With this system, it is expected that image interpretation is as quicker even quicker than 2D mammography and false positives are reduced.
Fujifilm’s 3D mammography with minimised dosage and examination time:This new 3D system realises more precise diagnosis with only 1.3 to 1.5 times larger X-ray dose in a slightly longer time than 2D mammography
