TOKYO, Nov 26, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Canon Inc. today announced plans to enter the medical fluoroscopic device market with the development of a new portable flat-panel DR (digital radiography) system capable of both viewing dynamic and capturing static X-ray images.
Canon launched the CXDI-11, the world's first static-image DR system, in 1998, and since that time has introduced nine generations of flat panel technology with a variety of products, including general DR sensors for use in upright stands, universal stands and imaging tables, as well as portable DR sensors. Now, with the development of its new system, Canon announces its crossover to the dynamic imaging market.
Building on the outstanding image quality and speed of the CXDI series for radiography, Canon developed a compact, lightweight DR system capable of both viewing moving images and capturing static X-ray images. While the newly developed prototype accommodates standard static X-ray image capture of the chest area and extremities, it also enables "X-ray fluoroscopy," which radiographers can use to observe dynamic images of internal organs, such as those used in digestion, for optimal timing in capturing static images.
