Canon Debuts Its Newest DR Imaging System, The CXDI-40G COMPACT DR System, at the Society of Imaging Informatics in Medicine Annual Event

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 4^th – 6^th.

"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.
