Canon’s Latest DR Imaging System Offers Easy Upgrades to Existing Radiography Equipment and Fits Into Most Universal Bucky Systems

Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today announced the expansion of its line of digital radiography (DR) systems with the introduction of the Canon CXDI-40G COMPACT Digital Radiography System. The new flat panel detector, which is Canon’s tenth-generation DR offering, can be retrofitted onto existing radiography equipment.

The new Canon CXDI-40G COMPACT Digital Radiography System is equipped with a large image sensor and high-quality capabilities similar to the CXDI-40EG but in minimal housing. The CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System is equipped with a large 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 system contributes to timely and effective patient care.

"Backed by Canon’s strong optical and imaging heritage, the Canon CXDI-40G COMPACT Digital Radiography System provides a variety of configuration options to help fit the exact requirements of a facility or practice," said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and general manager, Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A. "The ability to retrofit the new CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System to existing equipment can help facilities upgrade their capabilities easily, increase productivity and contribute to a significant cost savings on equipment purchases"

The CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System can be retrofitted into a range of radiography devices including upright stands, RF tables, and Bucky units. Easy installation is possible into widely-used Bucky units of existing facilities which can contribute to significant cost savings. The CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System also offers multiple applications, which allows for efficient capture of high-resolution (7.2 million pixels) radiological images in a timely manner to help meet facilities general radiographic needs.

Additionally, Canon’s proprietary control software, which supports superb image-processing performance, contributes to physicians’ diagnostic accuracy by making possible X-ray images that enhance for 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.
