Fairfield Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of a new Shimadzu MX8 Mobile Digital Radiography Imaging System, further strengthening our diagnostic imaging capabilities and reinforcing our commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.

The Shimadzu MX8 is equipped with Canon’s Built-in Automatic Exposure Control Assistance (BiAA) technology, an advanced feature designed to support consistent image quality while optimizing radiation exposure. This innovative technology allows the detector to monitor exposure levels in real time and communicate directly with the X-ray generator, eliminating the need for external sensors and supporting reliable imaging in a variety of clinical settings, including bedside exams.

For patients, this advanced system provides clearer, more precise images with minimized radiation exposure and shorter exam times. Faster image acquisition and intelligent processing reduce the need for repeat imaging, creating a more efficient and comfortable diagnostic experience. For our clinical teams, the MX8 enhances workflow, improves diagnostic confidence, and supports timely, accurate decision-making, allowing staff to focus more fully on patient care.

This new imaging system represents a meaningful investment in modern healthcare technology at Fairfield Memorial Hospital. By continuing to adopt advanced diagnostic tools, FMH remains dedicated to improving clinical outcomes and enhancing the overall patient experience.

Fairfield Memorial Hospital worked with Electromek Diagnostic Systems during the procurement and installation of the MX8, and we appreciate their technical support throughout this process.

The addition of the Shimadzu MX8 Mobile Digital Radiography System marks another step forward in Fairfield Memorial Hospital’s mission to provide exceptional care close to home.

For more information about this new imaging capability, please contact Fairfield Memorial Hospital Diagnostic Imaging Department at 618-847-8249.
