## TL;DR

Canon Medical is the Japanese imaging vendor (formerly Toshiba Medical) with CT, MRI, ultrasound, and the Cartesion Prime PET/CT.

## Summary

Canon Medical Systems, based in Otawara, Japan, is the imaging vendor formerly known as Toshiba Medical, with CT, MRI, ultrasound and the Cartesion Prime PET/CT. Its portfolio includes Aquilion CT and photon-counting development, Vantage MRI and PET/CT with digital detectors. Nuclide links it to nuclear medicine and total-body PET hardware, CT and MRI. Whether a fourth major imaging vendor can differentiate in PET and photon-counting CT against larger rivals is the open question. The PET hardware technology page carries the wider picture.
