In addition to Canon’s advanced noise reduction processing, Canon’s advanced image processing utilises the multiple frequencies within the image data to emphasise edges and display the appropriate dynamic range. For example, the subtle details of trabecular bone structure in extremity images can be displayed for enhanced diagnostic accuracy. This process can be pre-set for repeatability, as well as adjusted post-acquisition, to match individual diagnostic requirements.

Emergency examinations can be started immediately even when patient demographic information is not immediately; the software allows this information to be matched up to the images later.

As well as allowing individual examination study protocols to be saved and recalled, Canon CXDI-NE software allows multiple study protocols to be ‘packed’ under a single program button for instantaneous recall. The software allows almost unlimited numbers of single and pre-packed study’s to be optimised for exposure and image processing and saved. This reduces errors and is especially convenient when the system is used by numerous users.

An examination can be paused e.g. for time delayed imaging or for emergency use of the X-ray room, a subsequent patient can be imaged and then the earlier examination resumed later.
