Canon CR-1 Mark II Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera Offers
Reduced Flash Intensity for More Comfortable and Efficient Exams
Adding to its line up of complete total digital imaging and workflow
management solutions for eyecare professionals, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a
leader in medical imaging, today introduced the CR-1 Mark II Digital
Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera.
The CR-1 Mark II can achieve extremely detailed, high-resolution
diagnostic images of the retina and enables a full 45-degree view angle
to help the eyecare professional detect and monitor ocular conditions.
When attached to a Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR Camera (sold separately),
which provides up to 15.1 million pixel resolution, the CR-1 Mark II is
capable of delivering clear and detailed diagnostic images for virtually
immediate review. The low flash intensity of the CR-1 Mark II minimizes
pupil contraction, thus shortening the time required for taking multiple
pictures such as binocular and stereo images.
"Thirty-three years ago, Canon developed the world’s first non-mydriatic
retinal camera and has been a pioneer in the field of retinal imaging
ever since," said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and general manager,
Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A. "Canon’s latest advancement, the
CR-1 Mark II Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera, will help eye care
professionals provide quality care to patients by providing outstanding
digital imaging technology."
The CR-1 Mark II comes with Retinal Image Control Software, facilitating
comprehensive study management and image capture control at the
operator’s finger tips through a simple to use graphical interface. The
PC-based software provides quick input and access to all information and
images required to assist in diagnosis, and data can be easily saved to
various external media. The DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in
Medicine) Standard-compliant interface facilitates easy integration with
select PACS and HIS network configurations*. The Retinal Image Control
Software and network capabilities work together for streamlining overall
diagnostic workflow.
The CR-1 Mark II Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera joins Canon’s
complete line of total digital imaging solutions and workflow management
solutions for ophthalmic professionals.
