The Canon CF-1 Digital Retinal Camera, introduced earlier this year, features a redesigned optical system that achieves high-resolution diagnostic images and outstanding operability. When attached to a Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR Camera (sold separately), which provides up to 10.1 million pixels, the CF-1 is capable of delivering clear and detailed diagnostic images for virtually immediate review. The Canon CF-1 Digital Retinal Camera offers exceptional ease of use and an ergonomic, streamlined design helps to achieve improved operation by motorizing procedures usually performed by hand. All CF-1 functions are integrated into a single tabletop unit with a power supply built directly into the base. The new compact design allows for closer interaction with the patient and easier access to the patient’s eyes.
Canon imageSPECTRUM software facilitates comprehensive study management and image capture control at the operator’s finger tips, through an intuitive graphical interface that is simple and straightforward to use. This newly developed PC-based software package allows for quick, easy input and access to information and images. The DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) Standard-compliant interface enables easy integration with select DICOM modalities* and allows connection to a variety of network configurations such as LAN or WAN.
