Large Southern California Private Ambulatory
Healthcare Provider Increases The Number of Canon DR Systems
in Use Within Its Facilities
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 9, 2007 - -
Canon U.S.A, Inc. today announced that Riverside Medical
Clinic purchased two new Canon CXDI-40EG General Digital
Radiography (DR) systems and four new Canon CXDI-50G Portable
DR systems to help increase workflow productivity and to
help to improve image processing efficiency within its radiography
rooms.
The new Canon DR systems have been integrated onto Riverside
Medical Clinic's Shimadzu Rad and RF systems. This latest
deployment of Canon technology increases the number of Canon
DR sensors used by Riverside Medical Clinic to 12. Riverside
Medical Clinic, with four facilities in Southern California,
is a fully-accredited, multi-specialty group that serves
a community of more than 226,000 people. Riverside Medical
Clinic purchased the Canon DR systems through Preferred
Diagnostic Equipment Service, Inc., a member of the dealer
network for Virtual Imaging, Inc., an authorized Canon distributor.
"The Canon DR systems have a proven track record at
Riverside Medical Clinic in Southern California," said
Tsuneo Imai, director and general manager, Medical Systems
Division, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The addition of the new
CXDI-40EG and CXDI-50G DR systems will support improved
quality and will provide Riverside Medical Clinic with the
capability to increase the number of exams given at Riverside's
facilities."
According to Judy Carpenter, president and chief operating
officer of Riverside Medical Clinic, "The new Canon-equipped
radiographic rooms, combined with our new x-ray equipment
have made our imaging processing much more efficient in
our brand-new Imaging Department. We appreciated working
with Preferred Diagnostic, who consulted with us to design
the right system to provide enhanced imaging capabilities
and increased workflow productivity for our radiologists
and technologists. We are pleased with the speed and the
quality of the images and we trust the Canon brand for technology
and dependability."
The Canon CXDI-40EG General DR system provides a large
imaging area of 17-inches x 17-inches, and lets you capture
desired anatomical views for both large and small format
X-rays in portrait or landscape orientation without having
to rotate the detector unit. This system can retrofit onto
almost any new or existing bucky table, upright tilting
wall stand, universal or ceiling suspended multi-positioning
unit.
Canon was the first in the industry to deliver a portable
DR system in 2001. One of its newest portable DR systems
- the Canon CXDI-50G DR system - is a lightweight, large
imaging area (17-inches x 14-inches) DR system designed
for diverse applications including trauma and bedside exams.
