Low dose 3D imaging
X-ray imaging is optimization between image quality and x-ray dose. With the SCANORA® 3D this has been successfully resolved by combining high image quality with low dose. The key factors in achieving this are sophisticated x-ray generation, selectable imaging modes, a state-of-the-art flat-panel detector and innovative image reconstruction technology.
The x-ray dose in all the fields-of-view of the SCANORA® 3D is low. The minimum effective dose can be compared to one digital panoramic exposure and, at maximum, to a few panoramic exposures for a larger field-of-view and higher resolution.
The SCANORA® 3D gives you the ability to carefully minimize the dose according to the diagnostic task, whether it is a question of detailed primary diagnostics or a follow-up study. It is a safe and efficient diagnostic tool for your clinic.
