New York, March 23, 2007 – Helping ophthalmologists

technology, Canon Medical Systems, a division of Canon U.S.A,

Cameras, helps to quickly capture ultra high-resolution
digital images that physicians can review, analyze, print

by collecting patient information in one database for viewing,"
said Tsuneo Imai, director and general manager, Canon Medical
Systems.
