Canon Medical Informatics Selected by Department of Defense to Unify and Automate Image Processing Across its Healthcare Enterprise

The initiative will enhance cardiac and multi-specialty imaging consistency, efficiency, and operational readiness across the Defense Health Agency network.

November 24, 2025 — Minneapolis, MN — Canon Medical Informatics, Inc. announces that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to deploy its integrated imaging platform across its health system. The initiative spans key medical treatment facilities within the Defense Health Agency network, supporting thousands of imaging studies each week across radiology, cardiology, vascular, and oncology.

This engagement marks a significant milestone in the DoD’s effort to create a unified imaging automation foundation, enhance interoperability, and strengthen diagnostic consistency across its healthcare enterprise. By consolidating multiple vendor systems into a single, cohesive platform, the strategy will improve collaboration between sites, simplify system management, and give clinicians faster, more reliable access to imaging data that drives confident, timely care decisions.

Driving Cardiac Imaging Modernization

Cardiac imaging serves as a key focus of this initiative, reflecting the DoD’s commitment to advancing diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency within one of its most clinically critical service lines. Canon’s  comprehensive Vitrea® platform will deliver advanced tools for visualization, quantification, and comparison, empowering clinicians to evaluate studies with greater precision and consistency across all participating sites. Automated workflows within the platform help reduce manual steps, accelerate post-processing, and support faster turnaround times, driving measurable gains in efficiency while reducing the overall cost of imaging operations.

Extending Benefits Across the Imaging Network

Beyond cardiology, the awarded scope extends to additional departments including vascular, neuro, oncology, and molecular imaging. This breadth reinforces Vitrea’s longstanding reputation as a best-in-class Advanced Visualization imaging platform – purpose-built to support a wide range of diagnostic specialties within a single, connected environment. By consolidating tools and introducing intelligent automation, the initiative will reduce redundancies, improve data quality, and streamline workflows for radiologists, specialists, and IT teams. These efficiencies ultimately translate into time savings, lower resource demands, and a more consistent, satisfying clinical experience across the network.

“Our solutions are engineered to meet the highest standards of clinical precision, security, and scalability,” said Genady Knizhnik, Executive Vice President, Canon Medical Informatics. “This initiative supports the Department of Defense’s vision to unify complex imaging environments, ease the burden of managing multiple systems, and create a more seamless, efficient experience for clinicians, administrators, and care teams across its network.”
