Canon U.S.A. has introduced its CXDI-70C wireless portable digital radiography (DR) detector at its Canon Expo 2010 demonstration in New York City.

First shown as a prototype at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna earlier this year, CXDI-70C features a 14 x 17-inch imaging area, a film cassette, cable-free image transfer, and a weight of 7.5 lb, according to the Lake Success, NY-based firm.

In addition, it utilizes a new Canon-developed glass substrate with a pixel pitch of 125 microns; current Canon DR systems have a pixel pitch of 160 microns, Canon said. CXDI-70C also includes a cesium iodide scintillator.

(c) Training data is generated through manually labeling using SLEAP’s graphical user interface. (d-e) Neural network detection schematic. For each quadrant a series of two networks were used. The first identifies the quadrant center, the second using input of the first, then identifies individual anatomical landmarks within a quadrant. (d) Four neural networks were trained, each with the objective of identifying a chest quadrant centroid. The four separate quadrants are visualized as colored boxes (right upper quadrant, green; right lower quadrant, blue; left upper quadrant, red; left lower quadrant, yellow). (e) Serial centroid then anatomical identification. Two quadrant examples showing confidence maps of trained neural networks identifying quadrant centroids (left) and then anatomical confidence maps (right).
