LED Dental, a subsidiary of LED Medical Diagnostics, recently announced the launch of the RAYSCAN Alpha Plus, an extraoral imaging system from RAY Company.
The RAYSCAN Alpha Plus builds on the RAYSCAN Alpha Platform, according to a press release, and is a multi-modality dental imaging systems that features a variable light-guided field-of-view combined with fast image reconstruction.
Clinicians can use the imaging system to capture high-resolution panoramic, cephalometric and cone beam computed tomography images. The panoramic modality allows for a variety of 2D panoramic examinations, including standard pano and segmented pano acquisitions, as well as an extraoral bitewing feature.
The CBCT modality has several features that allow practitioners to customize examinations. The light-guided field-of-view simplifies patient positioning to reduce errors and retakes. The desired field-of-view is super-imposed on the patient’s face, allowing dental professionals to see the exact area being scanned in relation to the patient’s actual anatomy.
The system uses free FOV technology, which makes the field-of-view customizable from 4x3 cm to 16x10 cm. The RAYSCAN Alpha Plus makes it possible to collimate the field-of-view to any size, limiting radiation exposure to the smallest area possible to still acquire the needed anatomy.
The CBCT modality delivers voxel resolutions as small as 70 μm, while new proprietary algorithms allow for images to be reconstructed in 4.9 seconds.
The optional cephalometric module is available in either scanning or one-shot options, with the one-shot module acquiring images in less than 1 second to further reduce image distortion and lessen radiation dose.
The RAYSCAN Alpha Plus is available through LED Dental.
