Canon Medical Systems Europe introduced a new, state-of-the-art, AI-Supported RF System – the Xavion – at the European Congress of Radiology 2024 (ECR) in Vienna, Austria (February 28 – March 03). The Xavion utilizes the latest AI technology developed and features an advanced performance remote-controlled table, wireless detector, and cutting-edge software suite that revolutionizes the RF workflow. With the flexibility to perform both standard static radiography exams and dynamic exams with a full digital solution, the Xavion is a comprehensive imaging system that is suitable for a wide range of diagnostic procedures.

Wireless detector
The Xavion’s ground-breaking, wireless Canon CXDI-B1 detector enables both static and dynamic imaging. Its large imaging surface and capacity to deliver exceptional image quality, even at high speeds, ensures accurate diagnostics. The user-friendly Canon detector, can be effortlessly removed, bringing added convenience to manual exposures, especially for patients who need to be imaged while in-bed, or examinations of extremities. Cost-effectiveness is enhanced considerably, as a second detector for out-tray examinations is not required.

Innovation
Through automation and optimized interfaces, Xavion elevates patient experience and enhances workflow efficiency for operators. Automatic adjustment ensure the right examination setting for all patients, reduces operation time and enhances focus on ALARA requirements. And safety technologies along the entire imaging chain facilitate reduced dose, and support outstanding cybersecurity.

“This is the latest in a stream of high quality, innovative new products across all modalities that have been launched by Canon Medical to address the significant new challenges that have emerged in medical imaging,” said Frank Gerritsen, Clinical Market Manager X-Ray at Canon Medical Systems Europe. “Xavion combines cutting-edge technology, operational efficiency, and exceptional patient care to create unparalleled diagnostic experiences.”

“Crafted for optimal workflow, high throughput, and gold standards in diagnostic excellence, the Xavion is an AI-supported RF table that can conquer a wide variety of day-to-day challenges,” added Milan van Holstein, European Director Diagnostic X-Ray at Canon Medical Systems Europe. “Its deep learning post-processing software provides exceptional clarity in both soft -and dense tissue, offering healthcare professionals an invaluable tool for accurate diagnosis. Also, this innovative technology adapts dynamically to various conditions, ensuring that the radiologist receives the most relevant information for diagnosis.”

Flexibility
The Xavion demonstrates remarkable flexibility. It can be operated effortlessly from five different angles to accommodate a wide range of specific examination needs. Repositioning is precise and easy.

Unprecedented comfort
As well as providing advanced imaging functionality, Xavion has been designed for optimal comfort for patient and user. It’s design features ambient lighting, music, and microphone options for a calm atmosphere.

Meeting complex demands daily
The new generation RF system is suitable for use across various specialties and procedures, including Urology, Pulmonary, Tomography, Gynecology, Nephrology, Arthroscopy, Pediatrics, Angiography, Orthopedics, Accident & Emergency, and Gastrointestinal Medicine.

“The Xavion was well-received by leading experts across Europe at ECR 2024,” remarked Frank Gerritsen. “Piloted in the Faculty of Medicine at the University Hospital of Montpellier, in France, there is already widespread recognition that the new solution has the flexibility, versatility and sophistication to meet the complex demands and high standards of today's medical imaging environment.”
