Canon Europe nabs Delft

Lisa Fratt | | Health Exec | EMR/EHR
Canon Europe has acquired Netherlands-based Delft Diagnostic Imaging (Delft DI).

Delft DI specializes in two business areas. The first area is medical software for sharing digital images and medical records. This business will become a future platform for the development of new healthcare IT software, including Cross Enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging (XDSI) software.

The second area is digital x-ray imaging systems, systems integration and service of customized systems for radiology departments. This business will become a platform for developing future digital radiography services, according to the companies.

Following the completion of the acquisition, Delft DI will become a subsidiary of Canon Europe. Yoshiyuki Masuko, senior director, medical imaging group, will join the board of Delft DI.

Delft Imaging Systems, currently a subsidiary of Delft DI, will become a separate company, will no longer be part of Delft DI group, and is not part of this acquisition.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
