MELVILLE, N.Y., May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's
healthcare environment, it is essential to invest in solutions that
help streamline workflows while having features that can assist
healthcare professionals with their compliance efforts. Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, will showcase its solution designed to address
Teleretinal imaging during this year's American Telemedicine
Conference at the Minneapolis
Convention Center from May 15-17,
2016.
On display in the Canon booth (#918) will be the Canon CR-2 PLUS
AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal camera (the "CR-2 PLUS AF
camera"), including imageSPECTRUM Image Management System
software1, an intuitive software solution offering image
management and portability to help improve workflow. With
imageSPECTRUM Image Management Software, healthcare professionals
can perform retinal screenings on the CR-2 PLUS AF camera, then
quickly transmit the images to doctors' offices thousands of miles
away, both domestic and abroad2, to assist in making a
diagnosis.
In addition to the CR-2 PLUS AF camera's high-resolution color
retinal photography, the imageSPECTRUM software solution
incorporates a set of digital RGB filters for the more critical
viewing of suspect pathologies. The 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 Teleretinal imaging solution that includes the Canon CR-2
PLUS AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera and imageSPECTRUM
Image Management Software. The CR-2 PLUS AF camera captures
ultra-high resolution images — quickly, efficiently, and
automatically. Designed around advanced Canon EOS optics and CMOS
image-capture technology, the CR-2 PLUS AF camera features a
customized 18 megapixel digital camera with advanced imageSPECTRUM
Image Management software. With the press of 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 alignment
are ideal.
