Canon Medical Systems USA
With headquarters in Tustin, Calif., Canon Medical Systems USA Inc. markets, sells, distributes and services radiology and cardiovascular systems, and coordinates clinical diagnostic imaging research for all modalities in the United States. Canon Medical Systems Corporation, an independent group company of Canon Inc., is a global leading provider of diagnostic imaging systems including CT, MRI, Ultrasound, X-ray systems and clinical laboratory systems. In business for more than 100 years, Canon Medical Systems Corporation (formerly Toshiba Medical Systems Corp.) was built to improve the quality of life for all people. It delivered on this mission with medical innovations that are “Made for Life”—made to improve the lives of patients, clinicians and administrators. Its legacy was built with pioneering medical technology, such as the world's first X-ray machines in 1932 and Japan's first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems in 1983. Canon Inc. entered the healthcare business in 1940 with the development of Japan’s first indirect X-ray camera which was used for the early detection of pulmonary tuberculosis. The partnership of Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation and Canon (now Canon Medical Systems Corp.) brings together two cutting-edge technology businesses, founded with similar values of creativity, flexibility and patient-friendly healthcare solutions. Today, their combined history of research and innovation drive forward Canon Medical Systems’ vision for building a world-class healthcare enterprise. For more information: https://us.medical.canon/

Several radiology IT vendors at 2021 Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference demonstrated computed tomography (CT) imaging advanced visualization software software to help automatically identify and quantify COVID-19 pneumonia in the lungs. These tools can help speed assessment of the lung involvement and serial tracking can be used to assess the patient's progress in the hospital and during long-COVID observation.
Examples of COVID analysis tool shown in this video include clips from booth tours at:
• Fujifilm
• Siemens Healthineers
• Canon (Vital)Canon received FDA clearance for its tool under and emergency use authorization (EUA).
Siemens said its tool was part of its lung analysis originally developed for cancer but modified and prioritized to aid in COVID assessments.

January 26, 2021This is an example of a COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) positive patient's lung computed tomography (CT) scan. The video scrolls through the image slices of the scan and shows the typical white, ground glass opacities (GGO) caused by COVID pneumonia. The pneumonia typically appears along the walls of each lobe of the lung, especially the chest wall and the lower portions of the lungs. This scan is from a Canon Aquilion Prime SP CT scanner and used Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE), an artificial intelligence-driven image reconstruction software to improve image quality of lower-dose scans. This was shown by Canon Medical as an exmaple of CT image quality for the virus at the 2020 Radiological Society of North American (RSNA) meeting.

Feature | By Williette NyanueIncreasing research on women with dense breasts is having a positive effect on imaging modalities. It is estimated that between 30–40 percent of women in the United States have dense breasts. Because fatty breast tissue makes it difficult to identify breast tumors on standard mammography exams until very advanced stages, dense breasts are a strong independent factor for breast cancer. Research has shown that it is beneficial for this population of women to invest in additional imaging.
