Toshiba Medical Systems Changes Name to Canon Medical Systems Corp.

January 8, 2018 — Canon Inc. and Canon Medical Systems Corp. announced the official corporate name change of Canon Group Company Toshiba Medical Systems Corp. to Canon Medical Systems Corp. (hereafter referred to as Canon Medical Systems).
