MELVILLE, N.Y., April 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, has announced that it will be on-site for the
ATA18 Annual Conference and Expo, to be held from April 29 to May 1 at Chicago's McCormick Place. According to the
American Telemedicine Association (ATA), host of the event, ATA18
is focused on new ways to improve healthcare delivery and is
expected to be attended by a variety of healthcare professionals
and technology experts. Canon U.S.A. will take this opportunity to showcase
the capabilities of Canon eye screening technology in booth
#2116.
The focal point of Canon U.S.A.'s presence at the show will be the
CR-2 PLUS AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera and
imageSPECTRUM Image Management System software, an intuitive
software solution that is sold separately, offering image
management and portability to help improve workflow.1
Utilizing advanced Canon EOS optics and CMOS image-capture
technology, the CR-2 PLUS AF camera can help healthcare
professionals capture ultra-high resolution images efficiently with
a customized 20.2 megapixel digital camera. Through the ease of
pushing a button, users can switch between auto and manual focusing
for ultimate control and ease-of-use. The Auto Capture function
determines the appropriate moment to capture an image by analyzing
when exposure and focus are ideal. The CR-2 PLUS AF camera includes
a non-invasive Fundus Autofluorescence imaging mode that provides
the reviewer with the ability to quickly assess the condition of
the RPE layer.
The Canon U.S.A. imageSPECTRUM
software includes a set of digital RGB filters to assist with the
viewing of suspect pathologies and an opacity suppression tool to
help provide clear images of the eye when cataracts are involved.
By using the CR-2 PLUS AF retinal camera in tandem with the
imageSPECTRUM software, healthcare professionals using either the
Windows® 7 with SQL 2012 or Windows 10 with SQL 2016
operating system can perform retinal screenings and then quickly
transmit the images to doctors' offices thousands of miles away,
both domestic and abroad2, to assist in making a
diagnosis.
