DR Image Viewer Software Improves Workflow

New image software has been developed to improve workflow efficiency of digital radiography (DR) systems with an intuitive, user-friendly interface.

Canon DR images can be manipulated without compromising throughput, thereby assisting the healthcare provider's efficiency in delivering patient care. This economic and fully scalable solution provides the user with pixel-to-pixel display of individual or multiple high-resolution Canon DR images. The Canon DR Image Viewer software, which features pan, zoom, and measurement tools such as Cobb angles, can save images to a CD and send images to a Windows-based desktop printer or a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Standard-compliant network device. Moreover, its optional modules, including stitching and implant matching for surgical templating applications, make it suitable for scoliosis and long-leg imaging, as well as for presurgical planning for the orthopedic surgeon.


Also included in the new version of DR Image Viewer software is DR Image Viewer Light, which offers the ability to copy an image to a CD/DVD with or without a subset of the viewing and manipulating tools.

In addition, Canon's proprietary control software, which supports excellent image-processing performance, helps physicians to increase their diagnostic accuracy by making possible X-ray images that enhance the area being examined. Images can be transmitted almost immediately over the hospital network to other workstations and printers, and can be archived for fast and easy data sharing. This DR technology provides speed, efficiency, and a streamlined workflow to meet diverse needs, including support for off-site diagnosis and emergency care.
