CF-1
Digital Retinal Camera |
PDF |
Get the best images for the best
diagnosis—quickly, easily and
comfortably In terms of
image quality and workflow
efficiency, Canon’s digital
retinal cameras are in a class
of their own. Every aspect of
image capture—from
the precision retinal imaging
optics to the advanced digital
SLR technology—has been
developed in-house to create a
seamless, total imaging system
that provides unsurpassed
diagnostic image quality and
speed. The CF-1 takes this a
step further with an all-new
ergonomic design that makes it
easier and more comfortable than
ever to achieve precise
images during color/red-free
imaging and fluorescein
angiography. |

Industry-leading image quality
The CF-1 integrates a digital
SLR camera from Canon’s renowned
EOS series equipped with a
high-sensitivity CMOS image
sensor that achieves ultra-high
resolution images with superior
detail, contrast, and color
fidelity. The sensor’s high pixel
count ensures that images are
sharp and clear even when
enlarged, and its high
sensitivity reduces the amount
of light needed for image
capture, a factor that helps
increase patient comfort during
examinations. After capture,
images are transferred to the
connected PC for immediate
on-screen observation. |
Intuitive, comfortable
operation The
streamlined, ergonomic design of
the CF-1 is not only inviting in
appearance, it makes the camera
a pleasure to operate. It’s
easily adjustable to comfortably
accommodate each examinee.
Smooth, precise pan and tilt
movement allows you to easily
achieve desired views of the
retina without requiring the
examinee to move their gaze.
Alignment and focus is easy as
well, helping you to complete
exams in less time.

and tilt movement |

2x digital magnification
With one push of a button on the
CF-1 control panel, you can get
a closer, more enlarged view of
the retina for immediate review
on the connected PC. “2x mode”
works by automatically cropping
out the peripheral edges of the
image so that the region of
interest is larger in the frame,
making it quick and easy to
confirm image focus and other
factors. The end result looks
the same as optical
magnification yet is achieved in
a fraction of the time.
Close-ups are exceptionally
clear and detailed thanks to the
high pixel count of the
integrated digital SLR camera. |
Easy alignment and focus
Get clear, sharply-focused
images every time in two simple
steps. First, align the two
halves of a split line using the
focusing knob to bring the image
into focus. Then adjust the
working distance to avoid flash
flare by shifting the joystick
until the two side dots are
clear in the viewfinder. |
|
Ergonomic control panel
Controls for key features—such
as shutter release, lamp
setting, ISO adjustment, and
mode switching—are grouped
together for easy one-handed
operation in darkened rooms.

Compact, streamlined design
All CF-1 functions are
integrated into a single,
streamlined tabletop unit with a
power supply that’s built into
the base. The new compact
design enables closer
face-to-face interaction with
the examinee and allows easy
access to the examinee’s eye.
And the detachable digital
camera conveniently receives its
power through the body of the
CF-1, so there’s no separate AC
adapter to plug in and cables
are kept neatly tucked out of
the way.

examinee’s eye |
Motorized chin rest
The motorized chin rest can be
moved up and down to accommodate
the examinee's height using a
pair of buttons
located on the unit's control
panel. |
Streamlined system and workflow
The efficiency of the CF-1 goes
beyond image capture. The
network capability and control
software of the CF-1 work to
streamline the entire diagnostic
workflow, allowing you to
conveniently review, analyze,
print, store and even transmit
images to remote viewing
locations. The DICOM-compliant
network interface enables easy
integration with existing image
management systems and
allows connection to a
variety of network
configurations such as LAN or
WAN and PACS communication. |
Simple, straightforward control
software The
bundled Retinal Imaging Control
Software for the CF-1 puts tools
for comprehensive study
management and image capture
control at your fingertips,
in an intuitive graphical
interface that’s simple and
straightforward to use. The
PC-based software provides
quick, easy input and access to
information and images required.
A typical exam begins with the
input of patient data, which can
be automatically received from a
DICOM worklist server or
manually entered. When the
shutter-release button of the
CF-1 is pressed, images are
captured using the ideally
set
parameters of the attached
digital SLR camera
and displayed on the PC monitor
for immediate review. The
software’s preview tools include
image magnification and
adjustment controls for
contrast, brightness, and other
factors to aid in image
confirmation. When the study is
finished, saved images can be
printed and
automatically transferred to a
viewer system. |
