Intuitive interface
Canon’s intuitive ‘CXDI-NE/RF’ Graphical User Interface (GUI) can be used for all types of digital
radiography modality and this commonality of GUI across the entire DR product range is a major
advantage when it comes to speed of operator training, user confidence, convenience and familiarity.
Canon CXDI-NE/RF software configuration options ensure a GUI that is always right for you.
Comprehensive image processing including ‘Scatter Correction’ and ‘One Shot Long-Length’
imaging options guarantee optimised image quality with the lowest possible dose; the industry
standard DICOM 3.0 interface ensures multi-vendor and cross-platform connectivity in any situation.
CXDI Control Software NE / Controller RF
CXDI Control Software NE / Controller RF is made exclusively for use with Canon Digital Radiography
systems. This software helps to optimise workflow and reduce the steps needed to complete exams. It
provides quick image confirmation and timely network distribution, supports multiple study acquisition,
can easily be tailored to individual clinical preferences and helps provide the delivery of consistent, highresolution images with the Canon CXDI Digital Radiography systems. In addition, this proprietary software
solution is Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) compliant and has features that can help practitioners
with their HIPAA compliance eorts.
Before
After
Scatter Correction (optional)
Canon’s Scatter Correction reduces the eect of scattered radiation for nongrid bedside examinations, allowing you to obtain images with outstanding
contrast while avoiding the grid handling and improve your workflow
Benefits:
● Significantly lower X-ray dose compared to imaging with a grid*
● Superior image contrast without the need for a grid
● Improved workflow: no need to carry, fit, position and remove a grid
● Enhanced eciency: no repeat exposures due to grid misalignments
and resulting artefacts
● Potential to improve patient comfort in bed examinations as the imaging
receptor is thinner without a grid fitted

University Hospital, Sweden
One Shot Long-Length (optional)
One Shot Long-Length exams enhance eciency compared to conventional
stitch exams; shorter examination time, lower risk on patient movement,
reduced dose and increased image quality.
Expected benefits:
● Patient positioning stand with motorised height adjustment
● Fixed installation or mobile for convenient relocation
● Large, ergonomic grip rails for confident patient positioning
● Optional grid
● Ability to use 3 existing detectors for cost-eective one shot
Long-Length imaging
● Versatile configuration; use either 3 x CXDI-710CW or 3 x CXDI-410CW

Advanced Edge Enhancement (optional for static imaging)
Improved visualization of tubes, lines and bone details. The software has
three dierent image processing algorithms (small structures, bone detail
and catheter setting):
● Automatic copy of the image acquired, allows various views on the same

Additional functionality CXDI Controller RF software
Tomosynthesis (optional for CXDI Controller RF software)
Performing high-resolution limited-angle tomography at radiation dose levels
comparable with traditional projection radiography:
● For imaging of lung nodules or lung tissue that is partly obscured by ribs,
heart or other structures
● For arthritic changes in extremities
● Extreme/ complex fracture imaging
● For localization Brachytherapy seeds
DSA (optional for CXDI Controller RF software)
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopy technique used in
interventional radiology to clearly visualize blood vessels in a bony or dense
soft tissue environment:
● Basic functionality like road mapping is supported DSA technology on
your digital radiography modality.

Study 1. Optimization of image quality and dose using multi-frequency software
Purpose:
Examine whether the use of multi-frequency software (MLT[S]) may allow dose
reduction without significant loss of image quality. The processing parameters
explored include brightness, contrast, edge enhancement, frequency band, noise
reduction and dynamic range (dark/bright region).
Conclusion:
By optimizing image processing parameters, a significant dose reduction of 61% is
possible without significant loss of image quality on anthropomorphic phantoms.

Study 3. New Developed DR Detector Performs Radiographs of Hand, Pelvic and Premature
Chest Anatomies at a Lower Radiation Dose and/or a Higher Image Quality
Purpose:
Examine whether the new detector design could increase image quality and/or
reduce dose in hand, pelvic and premature chest examinations
Conclusion:
Optimal image quality can be maintained at a lower dose and/or image quality,
and could be improved using the CXDI-70C detector for both hand, pelvic and
premature chest examinations, based on the technical and anthropomorphic

Study 4. Software optimization in Pediatric Pelvic DR examinations - ongoing
Purpose:
To investigate potential image quality optimization or dose savings associated with using the new multi frequency
software together with a newly developed DR detector at pediatric pelvic examinations.
Conclusion:
By using a new DR detector and optimizing image processing parameters, a significant dose reduction is possible
without significant loss of image quality in a pediatric pelvis examinations. Statistical significance was found for
processing combinations with the biggest impact from the noise reduction parameter.

Enabling significant dose reductions
Canon’s NE / RF Control Software enables significant dose reductions.
Through a wide range of algorithms for dynamic formatting before saving,
it optimises the images with intelligent image processing parameters,
as confirmed by various clinical evaluation studies conducted in Europe.
CONRAD Radiographic Research Center in Denmark, proved with our static
FPD that by optimising image processing parameters and adapting the image
quality depending on the requested pathology a significant dose reduction has
been achieved while still maintaining sucient diagnostic image quality. Read
the conclusions of the specific reports in the dedicated leaflet.
