MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 8, 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 teleretinal imaging solution
during this year's American Association of Diabetes Educators
Annual Meeting and Exhibition at the San
Diego Convention Center from August
12-14, 2016.
On display in the Canon booth (#538) will be the Canon
teleretinal solution, featuring the Canon CR-2 PLUS AF Digital
Non-Mydriatic Retinal camera and imageSPECTRUM Image Management
System software1, an intuitive software solution
offering image management and portability to help improve workflow,
which is sold separately. With imageSPECTRUM Image Management
Software, healthcare professionals using Windows®
7 can perform retinal screenings then quickly transmit the images
to doctors' offices thousands of miles away, both domestic and
abroad2, to assist in making a diagnosis.
Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to interact with
the Canon teleretinal imaging solution, including the Canon CR-2
PLUS AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal camera. 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 features a customized 18 megapixel digital camera. 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.
In addition to high-resolution color retinal photography, the
teleretinal solution also includes imageSPECTRUM Image Management
software (version 5.1), which has digital RGB filters for the more
critical viewing of suspect pathologies. Most importantly,
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. With the latest version of its
imageSPECTRUM Image Management software (version 5.1), healthcare
professionals can use the new opacity suppression selectable filter
tool to subdue the effect of ocular opacities in an image to help
correct blur and enhance the clarity of blood vessels, helping
identify potential ailments that may have previously gone
unnoticed.
