The Aplio 500, was selected for its outstanding image quality and ease-of-use, and came with Canon’s new platform incorporating Super Micro Vascular Imaging (SMI), which expands the range of visible flow and also provides visualisation of low velocity microvascular flow.

Canon’s Aplio 500 delivers high quality performance. Based on its innovative High Density Architecture, users can obtain clinical images of exceptional resolution and detail. Canon’s unique iStyleTM productivity suite offers a full host of technologies, providing ergonomic relief by reducing keystrokes, improving workflow and raising the consistency of exams. A smaller, lighter form gives great manoeuvrability, while the fully configurable console and intelligent workflow support functions enable fast exams and productivity.
