Canon Software

The Ultimate, Intuitive MR Interface

Canon Software

The revolutionary Canon Software takes MR performance and flexibility to levels higher than ever before. The Canon Software is able to be customized for site specific scanning requirements by creating the optimal user interface for everyone, regardless of whether they’re new to MR or have years of experience. Efficiency is increased with advanced applications which streamline and accelerate processes with quick and easy to use features. With these new techniques now available, it’s even easier to develop clinical referrals.

Designed by you for the way you work.

Canon Medical Systems' next generation MR software interface lets operators design their own protocols and easily access mTools for greater convenience. Frequently used icons are positioned to reduce the amount of required mouse movement across the interface. This ergonomically, eye-pleasing display increases efficiency and reduces operator fatigue.

Easy to use. Easy to learn.

MR software makes Canon Medical Systems' sophisticated suite of imaging tools remarkably easy to learn and use, enabling technologists of every skill level to access its full range of functionality. Beginning the first scan with three quick steps reduces the patient’s anxiety while they wait for the exam to begin. Canon software allows you to accommodate a higher patient volume while offering a wider range of clinical applications.

3-Steps to begin scanning.


  • Register the patient by selecting their name which is preloaded from the HIS/RIS system.
  • Click the "Start" button to automatically load the optimized protocol.
  • Select scan start to automatically begin multiple plane locator.
mTools User Interface

Satisfying the need for speed.

Canon Medical Systems MR systems with MR software facilitate faster throughput by using efficient tools and proprietary protocols. This significantly enhances workflow from patient registration to patient completion or diagnosis. The ability to optimize the MR software user interface with mTools, along with Atlas Compass and new sequences, increases staff efficiency. Space requirements are reduced as a result of the ability to multi-task on a single console.

Atlas Compass

Atlas Compass View Example

Atlas Compass is a premium coil detection tool that provides unparalleled productivity and image quality by complete automating the selection of coil elements within a predetermined range.

Computed DWI (cDWI) Maps

Computed DWI (cDWI) Maps View Example

This technique allows the user to create an unlimited number of b-value maps from a single DWI acquisition.

mVox

mVox View Example

mVox acquires more information in less time by performing 3D isotropic volume T2W or FLAIR imaging.

Optimizing efficiency in 3 Dimensions.

Canon Medical Systems MR systems with MR software can automatically apply advanced 3D post-processing for MIP, MPR and SVR to achieve greater workflow efficiency.

Advanced 3D Post-Processing

Surface Volume Rendering (SVR)

Surface Volume Rendering (SVR) View Example

Eliminating the need for a separate workstation, Canon software can conveniently use the automated SVR post-processing program to create advanced 3D volume rendered images.

Multi-Planar Reformatting (MPR)

Multi-Planar Reformatting (MPR) View Example

Canon software can automatically reformat an isotropic volume data set in any plane including user-selectable oblique planes.

Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP)

Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) View Example

Automated MIP post-processing can be applied by selecting the 3D process on the operator console. Images can then be optimized manually with an easy-to-use cutting tool, previewed and saved as a DICOM data set.

Advanced post-processing as easy as 1-2-3.

Advanced post-processing applications have been developed with a streamlined workflow for operators at all experience levels. fMRI, Spectroscopy, Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Diffusion Tractography applications can be accessed on the main console using the following simple, three step process. These optional applications can be added as your clinical practice grows.

fMRI

fMRI View Example

Functional analysis displaying areas of activation with color enhancement. Functional data may be fused with any 2D or 3D data set.

Spectroscopy*

Spectroscopy View Example

Canon software provides processing of single and multi-voxel spectral data. Baseline correction, peak analysis, CSI evaluation and metabolite identification are automatically displayed.

Diffusion Tensor Tractography*

Diffusion Tensor Tractography View Example

mTensor is customizable to the users preference which automates post processed values and color maps. The calculation of tensor maps and tracks can be configured and fused with 2D or 3D data sets.
