Our History

Founded in 1995 by a group of Edinburgh University graduates, Voxar became a world leader in 3D medical imaging software and 3D for PACS. In 2009, the company was acquired by Toshiba Medical and renamed Toshiba Medical Visualization Systems Europe. We became Canon Medical Research Europe following the acquisition of Toshiba Medical by Canon in 2016.

As part of the Canon group we continue to work on exciting innovations and generate breakthroughs in advanced imaging technology.
