Revolutionizing Patient Care in Oceania – A New Era with Canon Angio-CT and High- Definition Imaging
On Monday, 26 June, Canon Medical supported the launch of the new Canon Alphenix 4D CT (Angio-CT) at a tertiary hospital in central Sydney, Australia. This groundbreaking promises to redefine patient outcomes and revolutionize treatment across interventional radiology, interventional oncology and trauma.
The launch event showcased the efficient workflow, superb mechanical design, and unrivaled patient access of the system and its clinical benefits. The tertiary hospital in central Sydney is the first Australian site to install this state-of-the-art system. They will benefit from the combination of the Alphenix Sky + with High-Definition flat panel detector and the Aquilion ONE / GENESIS Edition CT scanner, the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, and the first in the Asia Pacific region outside of Japan.
