ECR, Vienna, March 5, 2010 - Canon, world-leader in direct digital imaging solutions, announced the development of the company’s first wireless, cassette-sized direct digital radiography (dDR) system: the CXDI-70C Wireless. The wireless detector eliminates the need for a cable for improved operability whilst delivering greatly enhanced image quality with a reduced radiation burden for the patient.
The high sensitivity CXDI-70C Wireless is the lightest 35x43cm cassette-sized direct digital wireless detector in its class and is positioned as a high-end dDR system alongside Canon’s CXDI-40EG/EG and recently released CXDI-55G/55C, which has enjoyed an extremely favourable reception from the market since its launch in 2009.
The newly developed Canon CXDI-70C Wireless has the same external dimensions as current ISO4090 compliant imaging cassettes allowing use in existing rooms without the need to modify analogue imaging equipment. The wireless detector incorporates a new Canon-developed glass substrate with a pixel pitch of 125 microns and delivers an increased level of sensitivity as a result of its Caesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator and new Canon detector developments. This combination delivers exceptional image quality whilst significantly reducing X-ray exposure to the patient.
The CXDI-70C will be available in the UK & Ireland later this year from Xograph Healthcare Ltd (www.xograph.com)
