Hyderabad: Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute (BIACH&RI) on Friday launched a digital radiography machine ‘FDR SMART F’, Fujifilm’s latest high-quality and cost-effective x-ray system for its cancer patients.

The new facility, which was inaugurated by Chairman, BIACH&RI, Nandamuri Balakrishna, is capable of taking 200 x-rays within 8 hours, which allows the hospital to serve more number of patients in a day.
