MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, and Virtual Imaging, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Canon U.S.A., Inc., will feature
their latest digital radiography (DR) solutions at the Radiological
Society of North America (RSNA)
Annual Meeting taking place November 27 to
December 1 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Guests to Booth # 1135 will have the
opportunity to experience exciting new Canon and Virtual Imaging
radiology solutions and tools. The DR Tablet Solution1
from Virtual Imaging, composed of a tablet and choice of a Canon
wireless CXDI Digital Radiography System includes CXDI Control
Software NE with its optional new scatter correction feature.
Visitors will also experience an array of Virtual Imaging's DR
product lineup, including RadPRO® radiology
solutions1.
Echoing the themes of this year's show, Canon U.S.A. is proud to support the discovery of
learning opportunities to broaden participation in the larger
medical community by taking part in the RSNA Research and Education
Foundation (the Foundation)'s Campaign for Funding Future Research.
As reported by the Foundation, in 2016, it awarded more than
four million dollars in grants to 101
investigators and educators. With the support of a donation by
Canon U.S.A., matched by the
recipient's sponsoring department, grant recipient Mark Alexander Forsberg, BS, along with his
scientific advisor Jaydev K. Dave,
Ph.D., and clinical advisor David J.
Eschelman, MD will research whether traditional image
quality phantoms and/or patient images can characterize the
distinguishing performance of commercially available advanced
vendor-specific image and signal processing algorithms, and
automatic exposure rate control logic. According to Mr. Forsberg,
this grant will help lay the groundwork for the development of
continuous fluoroscopic quality assurance during clinical practice
in real-time.
New technologies highlighted in this year's booth will
include:
- DR Tablet Solution
Helping healthcare facilities
make the move to DR in a cost-effective and efficient way, this
solution consists of a tablet2 and a choice of a Canon
wireless CXDI Digital Radiography System, which includes CXDI
Control Software NE. The CXDI Control Software NE features an
auto-detection mode that allows the CXDI detectors to automatically
detect X-rays for exposure without the need of a typical X-ray
generator interface and cables.
- Scatter Correction Feature of CXDI Control Software NE
(Grid-free Imaging)
New at this year's RSNA exposition is
the optional Scatter Correction (grid-free imaging) feature of CXDI
Control Software NE. The Scatter Correction feature eliminates the
need to use an anti-scatter grid during certain types of X-ray
examinations, which streamlines workflow for technologists and
makes positioning more comfortable for patients, as compared to
using the detector with a grid. Eliminating the need to align the
grid can help shorten exam times and increase productivity.
Some of the other solutions featured in the booth will
include:
- RadPRO SOLTUS® 100 Mobile Digital X-ray System
The
RadPRO SOLTUS 100 Mobile Digital X-ray System which, when used with
a compatible Canon CXDI digital detector, provides short exposure
times and fast imaging acquisition. Easily folded for
transportation and storage needs, it can serve as an ideal solution
for ambulatory services and surgery suites, as well as humanitarian
organizations. Sold with the customer's choice of a Canon CXDI-501G
or CXDI-701C Wireless digital detector, the RadPRO SOLTUS 100
Mobile Digital X-ray System includes a user-friendly touch screen,
20-foot line-in cable for easy connectivity and 10-foot hand
exposure switch.
- RadPRO OMNERA® 400T Manual-Positioning Digital Radiographic
System
A true "workhorse" in the radiography room, this
high-quality, manual positioning system is constructed from rugged
aircraft aluminum and has the ability to support up to a 650-pound
patient load. Helping provide the high throughput needed in
high-volume hospital imaging departments, this elevating six-way
table's lightweight design and auto-tracking features can help
reduce the physical demands placed on radiography technologists,
whether in the trauma room or in a radiography room.
- RadPRO Mobile 40kW FLEX PLUS Digital X-Ray
System
Featuring the telescopic column and fast processing
times which make it easy to capture high-quality diagnostic images,
this digital X-ray system, released earlier this year,
includes the Enhanced Workflow Package which is intended to
help healthcare professionals save time by accessing existing
HIS/RIS/PACS systems and removing unnecessary steps within
the exam workflow. This new feature also allows users to complete
routine imaging tasks from the mobile X-ray system, eliminating the
need to access healthcare information systems from a separate,
dedicated workstation.
- RadPRO DELINIA® 200 Digital X-Ray Acquisition
Cart
Equipped with a computer, access point, touch-screen
monitor, detector holder and a choice of the Canon CXDI-701C, 801C
or 401C Wireless Digital Radiography Detector (each of which
includes CXDI Control Software NE), the RadPRO DELINIA 200 Digital
X-ray Acquisition Cart allows for easy sharing of detectors among
multiple areas of a healthcare facility, such as the radiography
room, trauma room, OR and ER. The CXDI Control Software NE features
an auto-detection mode that allows the CXDI detector to
automatically detect X-rays for exposure without the use of a
typical X-ray generator interface and cables. The detectors are
designed to work with currently installed fixed room or mobile
system X-ray generators, which can help improve
cost-efficiency.
In addition to the products listed above, visitors to the booth
will also have the opportunity to view the RadPRO FM Floor Mounted
Radiography System and RadPRO URS Universal Radiography System.
Virtual Imaging will also showcase its service programs such as
Protection Plus, which is sold separately. This program provides
unlimited repairs and replacements3 as well as loaner
systems during repair times for eligible Canon detectors purchased
from Virtual Imaging and its authorized dealers. Designed for busy
imaging departments, the Protection Plus Program is convenient,
cost-effective and reduces downtime on-site.
