FujiFilm Medical

FujiFilm Medical, a healthcare division of the multinational imaging company FujiFilm, has evolved from its origins in X-ray film into a premier provider of advanced imaging devices and software. Through strategic acquisitions and innovation, the company now delivers cutting-edge Radiology Information Systems (RIS), Cardiovascular Information Systems (CVIS), and Enterprise Imaging Solutions (EIS) to providers around the world.

At the core of these systems is Iguana, iNTERFACEWARE’s integration engine, embedded directly within FujiFilm’s RIS, CVIS, and EIS products. Iguana enables seamless HL7 communication and flexible data handling across a wide range of clinical environments and use cases.

“It's very flexible and easy to implement and use Iguana, and it's also user-friendly. Even though it’s a third-party engine, it does a great job.”
— Sharath Rao, Sr. Manager, HL7 Integration, FujiFilm

FujiFilm leverages Iguana at over 400 active, on-premise turnkey installations worldwide, spanning the U.S., Canada, Germany, the U.K., Australia, and Mexico. These deployments form the integration foundation behind workflows that collectively support $200–$400 million in annual revenue for FujiFilm Medical.

Iguana supports three major FujiFilm product lines:

• RIS and CVIS, where it serves as the HL7 engine and data translator across clinical and diagnostic workflows.

• EIS, where over 150 implementations rely on Iguana to integrate enterprise-level imaging infrastructure.

• PACS, where Iguana is being introduced to manage encryption and secure data transfer, with expansion underway.

These use cases illustrate Iguana's versatility — from enabling real-time HL7 interfacing to supporting encryption and advanced reporting capabilities in cardiology environments.

With a compact engineering team, FujiFilm values Iguana's developer-centric features — especially its Lua-based Translator, intuitive logging tools, and auto-completion functionality, which accelerate development and reduce integration time.

“We've been working with Lua code using the Translator in Iguana. The auto-completion feature is very good. Iguana's logging system and dashboard are really user-friendly.”
— Sharath Rao, Sr. Manager, HL7 Integration, FujiFilm

The relationship between FujiFilm and iNTERFACEWARE has also grown beyond day-to-day support. Strategic collaborations have focused on:

• Refining RIS database integration workflows, including efforts co-developed with partners like Raleigh Radiology.

• Adapting to evolving partner needs, such as enabling the ingestion and transformation of encoded data embedded within HL7 messages—demonstrating Iguana's ability to handle both legacy and modern data formats without requiring heavy custom development.

Over more than a decade, FujiFilm's confidence in Iguana has led to deep integration across its product lines and global footprint. Whether facilitating lab order/result workflows, supporting structured data transformations, or delivering secure data transmission, Iguana remains a core layer in FujiFilm's enterprise imaging strategy.
