Canon Europe launches software to enable earlier diagnosis of retinal diseases
Solution combines industry’s first fully-automated spectral domain OCT device and new software
Canon Europe has announced the launch of new software for the Canon OCT-HS100 spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) device and retinal cameras.
The combination of the Canon OCT-HS100, the industry’s first fully-automated spectral domain OCT device and the new Canon software will deliver improved usability and an extensive normative database to enable even more reliable and earlier diagnosis of retinal diseases.
The software’s new features also include increased retinal image scan width from 10mm to an extremely wide 13mm and an extensive radial scan mode.
Canon is also launching an updated version of its retinal imaging control software for Canon retinal cameras, RICS 4.2, which also includes several improvements and enhancements; among them, an optional mosaic function that enables multiple retinal images to be combined into a single mosaic image for extremely wide views into the periphery of the retina.
Yoshiyuki Masuko, head of medical imaging at Canon Europe, said: “Canon has been at the forefront of innovation in ophthalmic diagnostic equipment design for morethan 70 years. Improving patient care is the imperative that motivates us and we are delighted to be able to now introduce one of the most comprehensive normative databases on the market. Our latest software enhancement will enable early diagnosis of retinal diseases by ophthalmology professionals.”
