CANON U.S.A. ANNOUNCES THAT CANON INC. HAS REACHED ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY MILESTONE, ACHIEVING 30,000 DIGITAL RADIOLOGY DETECTORS SOLD
MELVILLE, N.Y., May 14, 2015 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc., has achieved a total of 30,000 digital radiography (DR) units sold worldwide. In 1998, Canon launched the CXDI-11, the world’s first digital radiography system which featured a proprietary-developed X-ray image sensor.
