E-Woo Technology USA

E-Woo Technology USA, Houston, introduces the PaX-REVE3D, the new flagship three-in-one dental CBCT unit. The combined x-ray modalities of digital pan, ceph, and dental CBCT provide the versatility of a single x-ray system. The PaX-REVE3D offers the FOV size of 15 x 15 cm, which provides the anatomical information of the maxillofacial region, including the condyles on both sides, with a single scan. The FOV size is customizable based on an individual treatment need to avoid x-ray exposure other than in the region of interest. The unit is equipped with a flat-panel cephlometric x-ray detector (FPXD), which produces a radiographic image quality comparable to a digital picture. It captures a radiographic image in less than 0.5 seconds, which means no image distortion from patient movement.

Air Techniques

Air Techniques, Melville, NY, introduces ScanX, a plate-based digital imaging system. Phosphor storage plates (PSP) are inserted directly into the scanner. The image is available 17 seconds after the first intraoral PSP is fed, and subsequent images are available in as few as 4 seconds. A full mouth series can be viewed in less than 2 minutes. Panoramic and TMJ radiographs are available in 25 seconds; cephalometric in 32 seconds. ScanX includes In-Line Erase, which automatically erases the plate after it is read. According to the company, the plates can be reused thousands of times. ScanX eliminates the need for film, chemicals, a film storage area, film duplication, processors, and a darkroom.
