Fujifilm FDR D-EVO III: Glass-Free Lightweight DR Detector
Authorized Fujifilm digital radiography detector supplier. The FDR D-EVO III is a digital X-ray detector that is both portable and fast. Unlike bulkier, slower glass-based panels, it is much more pleasant for staff to use, and it does not sacrifice quality. The images it produces are crisp and clear, and it does not require a high level of radiation to capture them. Its design makes it one of the thinnest and lightest DR detectors available, so staff can handle it easily in portable or bedside applications.
Fujifilm engineers replaced the glass base TFT with a thin, flexible film base, which improves X-ray transmittance and raises the detective quantum efficiency to 58 percent for higher quality images at a lower dose. The 14 by 17 inch model weighs just 2.2 kilograms, a forged magnesium lithium alloy frame supports a 310 kilogram load, the HydroAG antibacterial coating guards against bacteria, and IPX6 and IP5X ratings resist water and dust. Proprietary ISS irradiated side sampling, internal memory for 100 images, and Dynamic Visualization II complete the package.

Glass-Free Film-Based Imaging in an Ultra-Light Detector
The FDR D-EVO III pairs a glass-free film-based sensor with a lightweight, rugged, antibacterial design. Higher image quality at a lower dose, plus easy handling and cleaning, set it apart from conventional glass-based panels. Full technical detail is in the expandable sections below.
Glass-Free Film-Based TFT: replacing the conventional glass base with a thin flexible film improves X-ray transmittance and removes the glass layer that can crack, which makes the detector lighter and more durable
DQE 58 Percent: the film base raises the detective quantum efficiency from 54 percent to 58 percent at 1 line pair per millimeter, for higher quality images at a lower dose
ISS Irradiated Side Sampling: optical sensors bond to the X-ray irradiation side of the panel, which suppresses scattering and attenuation and creates a sharp image with a low X-ray dose
Cesium Iodide Scintillator: a CsI scintillator with a 0.15 millimeter pixel pitch delivers high resolution detail
Internal Image Memory: up to 100 images are stored in the panel memory, and the LED display shows the stored image count and battery status even when the panel is used on its own
SmartSwitch Automatic Detection: SmartSwitch detects X-rays automatically without a hard wired connection between the generator and the DR power supply
Ultra-Lightweight: the 14 by 17 inch model weighs approximately 2.2 kilograms without the battery, lighter than first and second generation DR detectors, which reduces strain and the risk of dropping the panel on a patient
Magnesium Lithium Alloy Frame: a forged Mg-Li alloy frame protects the internal device while staying light, and supports a 310 kilogram load capacity
HydroAG Antibacterial Coating: an antibacterial effect 100 times greater than conventional silver coatings reduces bacteria below the detection limit within one hour for hygienic use between patients
IPX6 and IP5X Protection: waterproof against jets from any direction and dust proof against small particles, so fluids like blood or vomit do not penetrate the device
Easy-Clean Flat Design: a flat shape with reduced contours and curved shell edges makes the panel easy to wipe down and simple to slide under patients and pick up from a flat surface
Five-Color LED Positioning: side-center LEDs on four sides aid positioning, show a green ready status, and use five colors to distinguish multiple detectors
How the FDR D-EVO III compares against a conventional glass-based DR detector:
The synergy of the ISS method and the flexible film-based TFT is what sets the D-EVO III apart. The thin film reduces attenuation of X-ray signals and increases absorption, which improves both sensitivity and resolution while keeping the dose low. At the same time, the lightweight magnesium lithium alloy frame, the HydroAG antibacterial coating, and the IPX6 and IP5X ratings make the detector easier and safer for staff to handle, clean, and rely on across portable, bedside, and high-volume radiology work.

The Fujifilm FDR D-EVO III is a glass-free, film-based digital radiography flat panel detector that is both portable and fast. It is one of the thinnest and lightest DR detectors available, captures crisp images at a low dose, and uses proprietary ISS irradiated side sampling with a cesium iodide scintillator. It is well suited to portable, bedside, and high-volume radiology work.
The D-EVO III replaces the conventional glass base TFT panel with a thin, flexible film base. This improves X-ray transmittance and raises the detective quantum efficiency from 54 percent on the prior generation to 58 percent, which means higher image quality at a lower radiation dose. The film base also removes the glass layer that can crack, so the detector is more durable and lighter.
Both are Fujifilm DR detectors that use ISS, SmartSwitch, and Virtual Grid. The FDR ES is a wireless detector available in CsI and GOS that fits standard Bucky stands with IPX3 protection. The D-EVO III is the glass-free, film-based generation that achieves a 58 percent DQE, weighs about 2.2 kilograms, adds a magnesium lithium alloy frame with a 310 kilogram load, the HydroAG antibacterial coating, and higher IPX6 and IP5X ingress protection, with Dynamic Visualization II processing.
The 14 by 17 inch model weighs approximately 2.2 kilograms, about 4.9 pounds, without the battery, which makes it easier and safer for staff to position. A forged magnesium lithium alloy frame provides a 310 kilogram load capacity, and the detector is IPX6 waterproof against jets from any direction and IP5X dust proof, so it withstands fluids and small particles in demanding settings.
HydroAG is Fujifilm’s antibacterial coating, which has an antibacterial effect 100 times greater than conventional silver coatings and reduces residual bacteria below the detection limit within one hour in JIS Z 2801 and ISO 22196 testing. A hyper hydrophilic binder and the flat, reduced contour design make the detector easy to wipe down for hygienic use between patients.
The FDR D-EVO III is available as the C35i 14 by 17 inch model, with external dimensions of 460 by 384 by 15 millimeters and a 2836 by 2336 pixel matrix, and the C43i 17 by 17 inch model, with external dimensions of 460 by 460 by 15 millimeters and a 2836 by 2832 pixel matrix.
