MRI system contributes to advanced medical care at Saitama City Hospital

In December 2019, Saitama City Hospital reopened as a new facility with the mission to continue providing safe and secure medical care to 1.3 million citizens.
To support advanced healthcare, the hospital installed two of Canon Medical Systems´ newest MRI scanners. MRI captures images of the inside of the body using magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves without exposure to radiation. In less-advanced systems, one of the drawbacks is that in order to obtain clear images for diagnosis, the patient must remain in a confined and noisy area for a lengthy period of time while the scanning takes place. Canon Medical MRI scanners mitigate these issues by providing a more spacious, open and quiet examination space, and implementing the world´s first Deep Learning Reconstruction technology for removing noise from images. The high-definition images produced by our MRI scanners facilitate more accurate diagnosis, shorter exam times and less burden on the patient.
Hand in hand with the new Saitama City Hospital, Canon is contributing to the provision of more advanced and patient-friendly medical care.

CT examinations while standing support the era of increasing healthy longevity

Keio University and Canon Medical Systems have developed Upright CT that may help identify undiagnosed pains occurring only under weight loading while standing and shorten the examination time.

Greater detail and less burden on patients. Next-generation CT blazes the MEDICAL trail for medical care

Photon-counting CT, which generates greater detailed images with less image noise, is attracting attention as the next generation of CT. Canon will work together with medical institutions around the world to verify PCCT.

Reduction of catheterization testing minimizes the burden on patients

Joint development with medical facilities such as Fujita Health University Hospital, which has the largest number of hospital beds in Japan, realize practical use of super-high-resolution, deep-learning reconstruction technology and open up new possibilities for cardiac CT scanning.

Faster medical diagnostics and treatments everywhere

These mobile medical trailer CT systems, equipped with high-spec CT systems that support diagnostics with high image quality and low radiation doses, are used around the world.

Saitama City Hospital. More advanced. More patient-friendly

At Saitama City Hospital, which recently relocated to a new building, Canon's two MRIs greatly reduce the burden on patients thanks to a wide examination space, extremely quiet operation, and high-resolution CT imaging.

Diagnostic ultrasound systems allow healthcare professionals to detect even subtle abnormalities

At the National Cancer Center Japan, the exposure-free diagnostic ultrasound system contributes to the early detection of cancer and the improvement of treatment accuracy.
