Pantos 16 of Blue X imaging is carefully Designed to perform a set of examinations including panoramic for adults or children, left, right or frontal partial views, thus with minimum radiation, and specialized, frontal sinuses and temporo-mandibular joints, mouth open and closed on same film. Program segmentation gives the flexibility to select the appropriate panoramic view.
" Minimum Radiation Dose - The use of intensifying screens (phosphor plate) reduces to a minimum the Radiation to patients and makes panoramic the recommended procedure for an overall investigation in most cases.
" Standard Panoramic Projection - Allows a complete diagnosis far beyond the dentoalveolar region. Specific occlusal or periapical examinations can be carried out for a detailed analysis.
" Child Protection - Reduced exposure time and radiation dose.
" Half Panoramic Left - Ideal after treatment for documentation purposes.
" Temporo Mandibular Joints (TM J) - Mouth open and closed on same film.
" Frontal Maxillary Sinuses - Widely used for pre implant assessment.
" Make it Quick - Positioning the patient can be done using a bite block or a chin rest. Few simple manoeuvres are required. Once the height of the carriage is adjusted manually to bring the Frankfurt plane horizontally, correct rottion of the head is checked with the mirror.
Front teeth alignment (in focus layer) is done by moving manually the carriage backward or forward till correct position is determined with the aid of the lateral light beam (the unit is adjusted without the need to move the patient (The unit is adjusted without the need to move the patient)
Different positioning is used for TMJ and frontal Sinuses projections.
" Celophalometetric Procedures - A cephalometric version is available with lateral arm to take side ( LL, Latero Lateral) or frontal (AP, Antero Posterior) radiographs of the skull, for orthodontic procedures.
A soft tissue filter is available with LL procedures.
Adaptation of the system to telerediography is done by rotating the tube-head in favour of the cephalostat, mounting the proper beam collimating window, then resetting the unit, action that moves the rotating carriage out of the radiation beam.
" Improved Diagnosis - Panoramic imaging in dental X-ray is nowadays considered a routine procedure that gives the dentist the possibility to perform a complete examination of the dental arch.
" Best Imaging Technology - The state of the art power supply, based on high frequency converter technology, produces hard radiation at constant potential with DC output, both essential for proper modulation of the X-ray beam and minimum level of soft radiation to the patient.
" Make It Easy - A simple control panel on the outside of the rotating carriage allows the operator to select the desired procedure and set the technical parameters, kV level and mA depending on patient size or mAs fro cephalometry.
