Since then, Shimadzu has continuously worked on the developments to reduce radiation dose further for the patients as well and brought lots of innovative technologies to the world. In 1992, X-ray images were digitalized and the radiation dose was significantly reduced compared to film radiography. In 2004, we released the world's first R/F system with Tomosynthesis, performing digital multi-slice tomography at lower dose than CT scanners.
