Canon adds to digital radiography portfolio

Canon has introduced four flat-panel digital radiography systems, the CXDI-401C, CXDI-401C COMPACT, CXDI-401G and CXDI-401G Compact DR Systems.

Utilizing Canon’s glass substrate, the detectors feature a pixel pitch of 125 microns with approximately 11.3 million megapixels on an approximate 17-inch by 17-inch imaging area, allowing medical practitioners to capture images from nearly any anatomical view, stated Canon, of Lake Success, N.Y.

Coupled with a quick image preview and processed image display of approximately three to five seconds, the four new models provide a DR option for practitioners and radiology centers. In addition, the CXDI-401C and CXDI-401C Compact DR systems incorporate a Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator, which minimizes the radiation exposure to patients during x-rays, according to the digital imaging company.
