Canon Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd. has entered into a research collaboration with Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre (RGCIRC), marking a significant step forward in the field of advanced cancer imaging and diagnostics. The partnership was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), under which RGCIRC will deploy Canon’s newly introduced flagship 640-slice CT scanner, Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition, for research applications in cancer care.

The collaboration underlines Canon Medical’s long-standing philosophy of ‘Made for Life’, showcasing its commitment to enhancing healthcare outcomes in India through technological innovation.

Speaking on the collaboration, Mr. Koh Yamada, President and CEO of Canon Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd., said, “At Canon, we are committed to improving patient care through innovative technology based on the ‘Made for Life’ philosophy. We are very honoured to be contributing to support healthcare in India with this great opportunity given by Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre.”

From RGCIRC’s perspective, the partnership will help strengthen its role as a leader in cancer care. Dr. Sudhir Rawal, Medical Director & Director of Surgical Oncology at RGCIRC, commented, “As a top cancer research centre, we continuously invest in cutting-edge technology, and we look forward to using this collaboration to advance the cancer care paradigm in India.”

Echoing this sentiment, Dr. Sunil Kumar Puri, Director, Radiology & Interventional Oncology at RGCIRC, added, “We are pleased and excited to be the first centre in India to work with this new system, and we trust this innovative system will bring significant contributions for cancer diagnosis and improve our diagnostic confidence in the results.’’
