Minimised cine acquisition frequency
αEvolve Imaging’s superb fluoro image quality reduces the frequency of cine acquisition, contributing to drastic energy saving.
Optimise Image Quality while Reducing the Dose and Energy
Optimised radiation dose and reduced energy with advanced imaging chain.
Weight/Space
Actual Space Savings
The Alphenix is designed to fit even the smallest rooms. Avoiding the need for renovations or reconstruction enhances hospital financial management of sustainability.
Optimised for versatile use in multi-purpose labs
The Alphenix's unique 12-inch panel strikes the perfect balance, offering the compact size necessary for coronary use while still providing a wide enough field of view for various other treatments. This versatility ultimately helps enhance hospital management efficiency.

It has an integrated monitor (Alphenix Unispot) for use in the control room, which means less monitors are needed for peripheral equipment.
The cover surface is designed to be smooth and easy to clean.
AI
Meaningful AI in daily procedures
αEvolve Technology, series of Alphenix features powered by artificial intelligence aims to provide various benefits to customers.
Drastic dose reduction
Dose rate for cine angiography is known to be up to 9-13 times higher than that of fluoroscopy*1. Therefore, radiation exposure for clinicians and patients can be significantly reduced if cine angiography can be replaced with fluoroscopy.

“We can significantly reduce the number of cine runs by replacing them with αEvolve Imaging Fluoro recordings. This can potentially contribute to huge dose saving.”

Manufacturing
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
We are continuously focused on taking measures to reduce energy consumption at our offices, production sites, sales branches, and research facilities. These measures include the use of LED lighting and motion sensor lighting, as well as the introduction of solar panels on warehouse roofs. We also seek to use renewable energy, wherever possible.
The Energy Conservation Promotion Project reduces standby power consumption at our manufacturing facilities by approximately 1.19 million kWh (580 t- CO2) per year through changes in supply conditions, strengthening of air conditioning temperature control, and optimisation of ventilation.
Our product manufacturing priorities are to source sustainable materials, reduce reliance on hazardous substances, and minimise resource consumption. Compliance with Canon’s Supplier Code of Conduct ensures alignment with our sustainability goals across the entire supply chain.

Packaging / Logistics
Greening Transport, Distribution and Logistics
Canon Medical is striving to reduce the CO₂ emissions of product transportation through a modal shift from truck and air transportation to rail and ship transportation.
In addition, improved efficiency in logistics reduces CO₂ emissions during transit.
We are also focused on reducing the amount of packing materials used for transporting products by simplifying the packing process and decreasing the number of units for each system.
We have consistently improved our packaging efficiency while ensuring the safe delivery of products to our customers after shipment and local transportation. Introducing a new concept for equipment transportation, we have started using dedicated shipping containers, eco-friendly packaging material (biodegradable fibers, etc.) and only FSC certified wood.
