Canon U.S.A. , Inc.will highlight the versatility and flexibility of its current line of advanced portable and general DR systems, including the new Canon CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System at SIIM 2009
Canon U.S.A. , Inc., a leader in digital imaging with more than decade of digital radiography (DR) service, will highlight the versatility and flexibility of its current line of advanced portable and general DR systems, including the new Canon CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System, at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Society of Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM 2009), taking place at the Charlotte Convention Center, (booth # 330) June 4th – 6th.
"In 1940, Canon introduced the world’s first X-ray projection camera in Japan, and our continued commitment to advancing the field has helped Canon to remain a world leader in medical imaging," said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and general manager, Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A. "At SIIM 2009, visitors to the Canon booth will learn how Canon’s retrofit capabilities are an affordable way to upgrade their current imaging equipment that can help contribute to significant cost savings."
Canon DR Systems and solutions on display at SIIM 2009 will include:
Canon CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System – The newest addition to Canon’s DR Systems line-up, the CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System is equipped with a large image sensor and a 17 X 17 inch imaging area that enables X-ray images to be confirmed on an optional preview monitor approximately three seconds after exposure. The new DR System offers multiple applications, which allows for efficient capture of high-resolution (7.2 million pixels) radiological images in a timely manner, and can be retrofitted into a range of radiography devices including upright stands, RF tables, and Bucky units. The CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System is a compact, efficient and easily installed unit that helps to meet facilities’ general radiographic needs while contributing to significant cost savings.
Portable DR Systems – The award-winning Canon CXDI-50G Portable DR system offers a thin, light-weight design and has a large imaging area (14 x 17 inch). When combined with a mobile unit, the CXDI-50G can bring digital radiography directly to the patient's bedside. Designed for diverse applications, the compact design is a practical solution for a wide range of room applications that are difficult to perform with fixed devices. The CXDI-50G DR System will be shown integrated with the VIR50 Bucky. The RadPRO® VIR50 Bucky has been specifically engineered for the Canon CXDI-50 Series digital radiography multipurpose flat panel detector. Its original design allows for a quick, easy “digital upgrade” solution for both chest stand and table applications for most existing diagnostic equipment. The panel can rotate into landscape or portrait imaging without being removed from the Bucky.
Canon DR Image Viewer Software – Canon helps to improve workflow efficiency of digital radiography systems with an intuitive, user-friendly interface. Canon DR images can be manipulated without compromising throughput, thus assisting the health care provider’s efficiency in delivering patient care. This economical and fully scalable solution provides the user with pixel-to-pixel display of individual or multiple high-resolution Canon DR images. The Canon DR Image Viewer software, which features pan, zoom and measurement tools such as cobb angles, can save images to a CD and send images to a Windows-based desktop printer or a DICOM* Standard-compliant network device. In addition, its optional modules, including stitching and implant matching for surgical templating applications, make it ideal for scoliosis and long-leg imaging, as well as for pre-surgical planning for the orthopedic surgeon. Also included in the new version of DR Image Viewer software is DR Image Viewer Light, which offers the ability to copy an image to a CD/DVD with or without a subset of the viewing and manipulating tools.
PIXMA Pro9500 Photo Printer – In addition, the Canon booth will have on display the PIXMA Pro9500 photo printer. The PIXMA Pro9500 printer, which is not intended or cleared for diagnostic purposes, is a 10-color ink printer that produces a wide color gamut to achieve vivid coloration and high glossiness, and prints up to 13 X 19 inches on plain paper and specialty media. The Pro9500 can be used by medical facilities that print long images such as long-leg or other stitched images.
Additionally, Canon’s proprietary control software, which supports superb image-processing performance, helps physicians to increase their diagnostic accuracy by making possible X-ray images that enhance the area being examined. Images can be transmitted almost immediately over the hospital network to other workstations and printers, and can be archived for fast and easy data sharing. Canon DR technology provides speed, efficiency and a streamlined workflow to meet diverse needs, including support for off-site diagnosis and emergency care.
