Canon Medical Systems, through its dealer Horizon Medical Services of Mississauga, Ontario, has received a multisystem DR order, the Irvine, CA-based firm reported.
As part of the agreement, Horizon will expand the use of DR at Hamilton Health Sciences in Ontario by retrofitting and installing two systems on new and existing equipment, bringing the total number of rooms in the facilities using the vendor's DR technology to six, the company said.
Hamilton Health Sciences is the first hospital in Canada to install Canon DR systems, according to the developer.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
