Canon U.S.A. of Lake Success, NY, is highlighting a prototype of its first wireless, cassette-sized digital radiography (DR) system at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Austria, this week.
CXDI-70C Wireless is designed to eliminate the sensor cable, allowing users to handle it like current film-cassette x-ray systems. It has a 35 x 43 cm effective imaging area and incorporates a new Canon-developed glass substrate with a pixel pitch of 125 microns and a cesium iodide scintillator. Canon also is working to further reduce the weight of the unit.
The new model is positioned as a high-end DR system, along with Canon's CXDI-55G/55C. Canon plans to launch CXDI-70C Wireless later this year.
