New Canon CR-1 Mark II retinal camera enhances patient comfort
Canon Europe has launched the CR-1 Mark II digital non-mydriatic retinal camera for medical institutions in Europe.
Used with Canon’s 15.1-megapixel EOS 50D digital SLR camera, the new Canon CR-1 Mark II employs sophisticated noise-reduction technology to provide high-quality retinal image capture, with one quarter the flash light intensity of Canon’s previous retinal diagnostic system.
The CR-1 Mark II minimises pupil dilation so that examinations which involve taking multiple pictures, such as binocular and stereo images, and recapturing images can be performed in less time than previously required.
The CR-1 Mark II comes with the Retinal Imaging Control Software suite (RICS). This has a range of tools that enable the operator to investigate images immediately after they are captured, allowing them to view the image in great detail. The operator can also adjust the picture’s qualities including brightness and colour separation during the examination, for faster diagnosis.
Post-examination, the images can be stored on any device with easy connectivity to hardware such as printers and PCs. This makes accurate record-keeping simpler and provides faster access to case files for comparison.
The Canon CR-1 Mark II will be on display at the ESCRS Congress in Barcelona, Spain, 12-16 Sept 2009, Booth number H2.
