Canon Enhances Digital Radiography Lineup With The New, CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography Detector At Canon Expo
Canon Expo 2010 in New York City ushers in a new era of mobility and flexibility, including the addition of the Company's first wireless detector, the CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System1. Featuring a versatile 14-inch by 17-inch image area, same dimensions ISO 4090 film cassette and cable-free image transfer, the new wireless detector weighs 7.5 pounds-the lightest wireless detector in industry to date-and provides medical practitioners with greater device portability and extraordinary image quality.
Building upon the success of the Canon CXDI-55G/55C DR Systems in the high-performance DR systems market, the CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System helps deliver fast, reliable high-resolution images. The CXDI-70C Wireless also incorporates a new Canon-developed glass substrate with a pixel pitch of 125 microns and despite realizing a higher resolution as compared with the Company's current 160-micron pixel pitch DR systems, the new model delivers an increased level of sensitivity. In addition, the unit features a Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator, which delivers high-quality images while reducing the X-ray exposure to the patient. The CXDI-70C Wireless DR System is an ideal solution for all of radiography systems, including mobile systems.
"Medical professionals can now carry a durable, lightweight standard-size detector without a wire and easily slip it into a table bucky or stand," said Tsuneo Imai, senior director and general manager, Medical Systems Division, Canon U.S.A. "The Canon CXDI-70C Wireless DR System still has many of the benefits and capabilities as other detectors in the Canon Digital Radiography line including previewing high-resolution images within 3-5 seconds after exposure on the new CXDI Control Software NE."
By eliminating the sensor cable, the newly developed Canon CXDI-70C Wireless also enables handling similar to current film cassette X-ray systems, resulting in effortless usability and portability. With the development of an easy-to-use, portable DR system, care-givers are able to save a significant amount of time during equipment setup versus older machines and spend more time providing quality patient care.
