In addition, the system features infection control enhancements such as specially designed glass overlay OTC display and free of edges to facilitate seamless cleaning and disinfection.

Canon Medical Systems USA X-ray business unit managing director Jay Aboujaoude said: “Today’s hospitals are challenged with productivity and workflow demands like never before, and it’s imperative that their x-ray systems are able to perform seamlessly so that they can focus on their patients.

“The OMNERA 500A meets that need so that technologists can produce images with exceptional image quality, made possible with the unparalleled Canon CXDI detector technology that is at the heart of the system.”

Canon Medical stated that it will exhibit the OMNERA 500A system at this year’s virtual RSNA annual meeting.

In July this year, Canon Medical Systems USA secured 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for its advanced intelligent clear-IQ engine (AiCE) technology, used in its Vantage Orian 1.5T MR system.
