Providing Hospitality and Proposing the Ideal Cath Lab, Our New Showroom for VL Products “Angiography Experience Lab” Is Now Open

On April 25, an opening ceremony was held for our Angiography Experience Lab. The newly established showroom facility is on the first floor of building 21 and will serve as a place for global customers to experience our latest VL technologies and solutions. The grand ceremony aimed to widely spread the significance of the facility within the company. It is expected that the Angiography Experience Lab will provide great value and be used in many ways in the years to come.

At the beginning of the ceremony, President Takiguchi and Senior Vice President Tachizaki gave a formal address in which they strongly expressed their desire to make effective use of the new facility in our progress towards becoming No. 1 globally.

With cooperation from the Canon Design Center, the Angiography Experience Lab was designed with two themes: “hospitality” and “proposing the ideal Cath Lab”. The lobby has a hotel-like atmosphere and provides space where customers can relax. In addition to the obvious — introducing the Alphenix angiography system and its options — by focusing on the operation console, the lighting, and the color scheme of the walls and floors, we have realized a design that represents the ideal Cath Lab environment for both medical professionals and patients.

With the support of the Project Coordination Center, we have also introduced a new initiative that allows customers to experience the 3D layout of systems and peripherals in a virtual version of their own facility using a large monitor and a virtual reality system. In addition, for global customers who find it difficult to come directly to Nasu, we have built an online streaming system that utilizes the latest Canon webcams.

The Angiography Experience Lab. came to life about two years after the idea of setting up a showroom was proposed. We are sincerely thankful to everybody who supported us in its realization*.
