MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 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
and eye care devices during this year's American Academy of
Optometry annual meeting at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California from November 9-12, 2016.
On display in the Canon booth 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 the CR-2 PLUS AF camera and imageSPECTRUM
Image Management software, healthcare professionals using either
the Windows 7® with SQL 2012 or Windows 10®
with SQL 2016 operating systems 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 experience
firsthand the camera component of the Canon teleretinal imaging
solution, 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 20.2 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. 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.
In addition to high-resolution color retinal photography, the
Canon teleretinal solution also includes imageSPECTRUM Image
Management software (sold separately), which has digital RGB
filters for the more critical viewing of suspect pathologies.
With imageSPECTRUM Image Management software, healthcare
professionals can use the 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 eye
care professionals to take clear images of patients' eyes.
In addition to the CR-2 PLUS AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal
camera and imageSPECTRUM Image Management System software, visitors
to the booth will have the opportunity to interact with eye care
solutions including:
- CR-2 AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera: The CR-2
AF incorporates Canon EOS technology and provides superb retinal
images under just about any condition. With integrated
AutoExposure, AutoFocus, AutoFundus, AutoCapture and Image Error
Detection, Low-Flash and Quick Preview modes, this retinal camera
is a breeze to operate. Enhanced from the previous CR-2 Digital
Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera, the CR-2 AF features Canon contrast
enhancement technology never before offered in a Canon retinal
camera to emphasize the differences in "redness" and "brightness"
of blood vessel structures relative to their surroundings.
- RK-F2 Full Auto Ref-Keratometer: Including a Full Auto
Mode which allows professionals to automatically align, focus, and
acquire a reading for one eye and continue to the opposite eye to
perform the same function – all with one touch of a button. This
feature contributes to a comfortable, efficient screening process
for the patient.
- TX-20 Full Auto Tonometer: Designed to be compact and
lightweight, the non-contact tonometer is easy to transport and
install. With soft air puffs, the TX-20 tonometer easily measures
Intraocular Pressure (IOP), enhancing patient comfort and allowing
doctors to perform simple eye exams efficiently. The TX-20
Tonometer, as the RK-F2 Keratometer, also offers one-touch Full
Auto Mode to automatically align, focus and capture readings.
