The PreXion 3D Explorer Pro CBCT imaging system features an integrated cephalometric X-ray arm, which the company calls the first of its kind. This arm will enable dental and specialty practices to save up to two feet of office space, PreXion said, while enabling them to capture cephalometric X-rays with conversion from CT or panoramic to ceph X-ray mode in 30 seconds.
With CBCT imaging systems, the company said, the size of the focal spot directly correlates with image quality. Larger sizes result in poorer image quality, PreXion said. But the 3D Explorer Pro boasts a 0.3- by 0.3-mm focal spot size, which PreXion said is the smallest in the industry.
Additionally, the 3D Explorer Pro features several field of view (FOV) size options ranging from 5 by 5 cm to 15 by 16 cm, so users can customize results for varying cases and specialties. The 15- by 16-cm FOV is enabled by the industry’s largest flat panel detector that can scan in one pass, decreasing distortion and scatter for better image quality and reduced patient radiation exposure, PreXion said.
The 3D Explorer Pro’s HD and endodontic CT modes feature uncommonly low radiation dosage and scan times of 20 seconds or less as well, the company said, improving image quality and patient comfort. It is available through select US-based distributors.
