Zuma Dental Introduces Z-Ray® Hi-Performance Digital Sensors
Matched to Powerful State-of-the-Art Imaging Software
The New #1 in Image Quality*
Los Angeles, Calif. - Zuma Dental, the creator and direct distributor of Z-Ray Hi-Performance Sensors as well as Z-Ray Imaging Software is excited to announce the Company’s formal launch on October 15, 2015 at the ASDA meeting in Beverly Hills. From image quality and software to cost and training, Zuma Dental set out to address and solve some of the biggest pain points for clinicians currently using digital sensors and for those clinicians reluctant to switch from film.
“First and foremost, image is everything,” said Robert Hayman, CEO of Zuma Dental. “We developed Z-ray to give dental offices unparalleled image quality.” Hayman added, “in fact, in a recent head-to-head clinical study by The Dental Advisor®, they found the New Hi-Performance Z-Ray® System to be significantly superior to Dexis®, Schick® & CareStream®.”
Interestingly enough, given the price of digital sensors, roughly half of all practices still use film. What’s even worse, of those practices that have digital sensors, most can only afford one and they end up shuffling it between multiple x-ray operatories. This not only wears out sensors and degrades image quality, but is a very inefficient use of valuable staff and dentist time costing thousands of dollars per year, not to mention patient wait time.
Given the above, it is the company’s mission and philosophy that clinicians should have hi-performance sensors in each & every operatory. “It's why we decided to turn the industry on its head with a disruptive “Live The Dream” pricing strategy”, said Hayman.
Z-ray’s advanced image quality is a result of truly innovative technology, featuring:
- Next Generation Scintillator Technology: The scintillator converts radiation to light output. The Z-Ray scintillator simply does this more efficiently - not only more energy, but more uniform energy, resulting in superior contrast ratios, cleaner images - no hot spots or areas showing less signal. In other words, you’ll see a consistent level of grayscale across the entire image.
- The Fiber Optic Plate: A thicker fiber optic plate focuses and filters energy better, resulting in still sharper images.
- 16 Bit Image Capture: 16 bit capture is state-of-the-art, as good as it gets. The benefit is higher resolution and reduced pixilation, especially important when zooming in on small details.
- Uncompressed image data: The Z-Ray system is unique - much like high definition TV, the more data the more detail per square inch of image.
- True 22 Line Pairs per Millimeter: More line pairs means more clarity. You’ll get sharper, cleaner images with less noise and less pixilation.
Z-ray Imaging is the latest generation of powerful, state-of-the-art imaging software, its imaging suite contains:
- Most powerful imaging enhancements of any software:
- Auto Enhancements: 5 Pre-Sets: GP, Perio, Restorative, Implant, Endo. Each of these can also be further customized.
- Manual Enhancements: 9 different arrays of enhancements & filters.
- Integration with most practice management software systems.
- Ability to convert data from most digital imaging software platforms.
- Compatible with Other Image Capture Equipment
Z-ray has been in development over the past three years and has been in beta with members of the Zuma Dental Advisory Board for much of that time.
“Excellent clarity is critical on x-rays to properly diagnose proximal caries. Z-ray images deliver superb contrast and definition and give me the kind of clarity I need, “says Marvn Fier, DDS, FASDA, ABA. Integration of the Z-ray system is easy and the software is intuitive.
Ed Lowe, BDc, DMD states, "We could not be more pleased with the Z-Ray Digital Radiography System in our office. The sharp detailed images are amazing and the pricing is the best. The value you get for the hardware, software, training, and support is definitely worth the investment!"
When a clinician purchases the Z-ray system, they also gain free access to Zuma Dental’s ZEN (Zuma Educational Network), a revolutionary new learning paradigm, which reduces training to less than 60 minutes. ZEN features a series of 3- to 5-minute online videos and quizzes encompassing the use of the software, sensor placement, x-ray power, exposure setting, and more. “We want to give clinicians the tools they need to develop and maintain their level of expertise, anytime, anywhere, and online,” concluded Ekram Khan, CTO for Zuma Dental.
