Canon launched its CXDI series, the first X-ray digital radiography system incorporating the LANMIT, in 1998. Conventional X-ray photography systems produce images after X-rays passing through the patient’s body are absorbed by a scintillator, and the light emitted by this material is exposed on the film and then developed by the processor. Canon’s CXDI-series incorporates a system in which the LANMIT directly reads light emitted by the scintillator. The images can be displayed in a mere three seconds after the X-ray exposure. In other words, Canon’s technology dramatically increases the speed and efficiency of X-ray procedures. Our system provides better performance than conventional X-ray screen-film systems and digital systems in which the laser stimulates the image from the scintillator, and then reads the strength of the light to make the X-ray image. In addition to upright and bucky-type X-ray digital cameras, Canon released a portable model in 2001. In 2003, Canon introduced a lighter and smaller upright, horizontalbed- type model, which can reduce the X-ray dose, and a portable model that allows larger shots.
Canon’s digital radiography system not only shows the X-ray image on computer displays, but it can also be used to transmit images through networks to workstations, printers and databases, enhancing information sharing in hospitals and allowing off-site diagnoses. The CXDI series, a fullscale digital radiography system, meets almost every X-ray need by capturing images of most parts of the body. It makes significant contributions to the diversifying medical industry, including remote diagnosis and emergency care.
