Canon Medical’s unique take on its virtual booth will feature a variety of one-of-a-kind digital experiences for customers, including:

  • Augmented reality: visitors can experience the Cartesion Prime’s small footprint by using augmented reality to place the system in any real-life environment they choose.

The system’s patient-centered design can help deliver a safe and comfortable experience, facilitating better patient compliance.
