UNMATCHED EFFICIENCY

Retinal examinations can now be conducted with greater efficiency than ever thanks to the Canon CF-60DSi, an all-digital system that offers PC-based operation and study management, outstanding digital image quality for color fundus imaging, and high-precision ICG angiography.

In terms of workflow efficiency, the all-digital CF-60DSi is unmatched. That’s because all major operations—from work list retrieval and image capture to DICOM image transfer—can be comfortably handled from a connected PC. More importantly, the CF-60DSi will enable you to manage concurrent examinations with unprecedented ease.

The CF-60DSi also leads in image quality. Working seamlessly with Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras, it delivers exceptionally detailed images during color fundus imaging or fluorescein angiography. Plus there’s the option of a new ICG camera unit, which provides both observation and high-resolution image capture for ICG angiography.

Discover the finest digital solution for retinal imaging, the Canon CF-60DSi.

Simple system configuration Compared to the multi-camera setups of conventional analog systems, the CF-60DSi is significantly easier to set up and use. Color imaging and fluorescein angiography (FA) are both performed with the attached EOS Digital SLR camera. For ICG angiography, just a single optional camera unit will take care of observation and image capture.

Greater overall efficiency

With the all-digital CF-60DSi system, retinal images can be viewed immediately after they are captured, as there is no film development step in the process. This helps you complete a study in less time and results in quicker, more comfortable exams for the patient. But the efficiency of the CF-60DSi extends well beyond the image capture step. Prior to exams, worklists can be received from a DICOM worklist server. And in times of peak demand, the CF-60DSi Control Software lets you easily keep track of camera settings and elapsed time for more than one patient, which ensures that concurrent studies are accurately managed. For every image that is captured, the system assembles the image, patient/study data, camera information, and timer data into a comprehensive medical data file that is ideally suited for diverse image management systems.  Once a study has been completed, images can be distributed over a network via the CF-60DSi’s DICOM interface. This entire workflow, from star t to finish, is far smoother and more versatile than that of any analog fundus camera system.

Simply put, for digital retinal imaging there is no combination more powerful than the CF-60DSi and Canon’s flagship digital SLR camera. Canon’s groundbreaking “full frame” CMOS sensor—the same size as a 35mm film frame—provides unsurpassed detail and contrast with color fundus images or FA. One major benefit of the CMOS sensor's high resolution is that it allows you to see the retina in clear detail even when you enlarge a part of the image, so you’ll be able to get a closer look at ocular conditions in practically any situation. In addition, the high sensitivity of the CMOS sensor reduces the amount of light needed for image capture, a factor that helps increase patient comfort during examinations. Canon’s advanced camera technology also offers advantages such as enhanced clarity through noise reduction, fast continuous shooting, and field-proven color reproduction for superb color fidelity.

An innovative digital camera unit for ICG (indocyanine green) angiography is available as an option for the CF-60DSi’s second camera mount. This new ICG camera combines image capture and observation capabilities in one unit, which makes it easier to set up and operate than conventional multi-camera video systems. Still images are much clearer than those obtained from video systems due to the camera’s sensitivity and high resolution (1.45 million pixels). As for observation, the camera is sensitive to near-infrared light and produces a 15 frames per second live image that can be viewed on the connected PC monitor. Communication between the CF-60DSi and ICG camera unit is highly integrated, so there is no need to adjust the camera at each phase of an angiography. The ICG barrier filter is automatically.set inside the ICG camer a    unit    to further ensure ease of use.
