Canon Medical Systems announced Tuesday, Feb. 27, that it will be attending the annual meeting of the European Society of Radiology, the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2018, from Feb. 28 to March 4.

We remain committed to supporting accurate diagnosis and delivering state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging and healthcare solutions to drive further efficiencies in healthcare and contribute to high quality of healthcare provided in European countries.”
