President's Message

I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support, and to thank you for using our products.

I would also like to express our condolences to the victims of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake in Japan. I extend my deepest sympathy and sincerely hope for the earliest possible recovery for all who have been affected by the disaster. I would also like to express my deepest respect to the healthcare professionals and others who are working hard for relief and recovery in the affected areas.

As we expect various measures based on “work style reforms” to be finally implemented in Japan and strictly applied in the medical field, Canon Medical Systems Corporation is promoting the use of AI-based technology under the "Altivity" brand, which will allow healthcare professionals to provide high-quality medical care more efficiently. In order to achieve high image quality that enables increased diagnostic confidence for the users of our products, our diagnostic imaging systems, particularly all segments of CT, have introduced image reconstruction technology designed using deep learning technology to offer examinations with higher image quality and lower patient exposure dose. With the capability of these systems for quickly providing information needed for decision making in diagnostic imaging, we will be providing healthcare IT solutions that help improve the quality and operational efficiency of diagnostic imaging.
We are again welcoming many freshman employees this year. We are confident that they will adapt to the management philosophy embodied in our slogan "Made for Life" and will play a role in providing new value. By incorporating fresh human resources, we will further contribute to the improvement of healthcare around the world.

The International Technical Exhibition of Medical Imaging 2024 (ITEM 2024) will be held at Pacifico Yokohama from April 12 to 14. Visitors will be able to experience our latest technologies and solutions, together with the new value that the AI solution brand "Altivity" brings to clinical practice, operation, and administration. We look forward to seeing you at our booth.
