Canon CR-1 Delivers High–Resolution Images
and an Ergonomic Design for Ophthalmic Professionals
At Vision Expo West, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, will showcase its CR-1 Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal Camera
and its complete line of total digital imaging and workflow management
solutions for eyecare professionals, in booth #MS6063 at the Sands Expo
and Convention Center in Las Vegas (October 3-5, 2008).
Featuring a redesigned optical system that achieves extremely detailed,
high-resolution diagnostic images of the retina, the Canon CR-1 Digital
Retinal Camera enables a full 45-degree view angle to help the eyecare
professional detect and monitor ocular conditions. When attached to a
Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR Camera (sold separately), which provides up to
10.1 million pixel resolution, the CR-1 Non-Mydriatic Digital Retinal
Camera is capable of delivering clear and detailed diagnostic images for
virtually immediate review.
"Canon continuously strives to provide ophthalmologists with the latest
digital imaging technology", said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and
general manager, Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A. "At Vision Expo
West, ophthalmic professionals will see how Canon can help them provide
quality care to their patients, as well as to help efficiently operate
their practices."
The CR-1 integrates advanced specifications into an ergonomic unit, all
of which have been designed for improved ease of use and comfort in a
streamlined form. One-hand joystick operation and an illuminated
operation panel enable easy one-handed operation in darkened rooms,
while a shorter working distance allows closer interaction with the
patient and easy access to the patient’s eyes.
The CR-1 system, when combined with the optional Canon imageSPECTRUM Version
3.0 software, facilitates comprehensive study management and image
capture control at the operator’s finger tips
through a simple graphical interface. This enhanced PC-based software
package allows for quick, easy input and access to information and
images. imageSPECTRUM Version 3.0 features Multi-image Compare,
which allows the comparison of up to eight images simultaneously.
