Planmeca ProMax 3D
concept is an intelligent and
multipurpose X-ray unit series designed to obtain complete information
on patient anatomy in the minutest detail. The units provide digital
panoramic, cephalometric, 3D CBVT imaging, and 3D photo, as well as
advanced imaging software tools to comply with every possible need in
dental radiology.
All models share
the same platform but differ in imaging
field size.
- Planmeca ProMax
3D s is ideal for imaging of small
details.
- Planmeca ProMax
3D covers the whole dentition area.
- Planmeca ProMax
3D Mid offers the widest selection of
volume sizes
- Planmeca ProMax
3D Max enables imaging of the whole
maxillofacial region.
- Planmeca ProMax
3D ProFace produces 3D face photo in
addition to traditional maxillofacial radiography.
Planmeca ProMax 3D
family offers a solution for the most
demanding imaging needs, producing various imaging sizes with one
concept – an ideal imaging size for different maxillofacial
applications is at hand at all times.
Planmeca ProMax 3D
concept performs everything from the
minutest detail to full maxillofacial image. The possibility to select
the imaging area according to the actual imaging need increases
effectiveness and reduces the patient dose.
PRODUCT
FEATURES
- Planmeca ProMax 3D concept is
expressly designed to comply with the needs of modern surgical
dentistry.
- In addition to the traditional
digital panoramic and cephalometric imaging, the imaging concept
produces CBVT images and 3D photos and feature tomography system.
- The concept complies with a
multitude of diagnostic requirements: those of endodontics,
periodontics, orthodontics, implantology, dental and maxillofacial
surgery, and TMJ analysis.
- With all the Planmeca ProMax 3D
models, study volume sizes are selectable to meet diagnostic needs
without excess radiation outside the area of interest.
- The Planmeca ProMax concept is
unique in that the 3D imaging modality is reachable with a simple
upgrade of a digital Planmeca ProMax.
- Thanks to its small footprint,
Planmeca ProMax 3D makes effective three-dimensional imaging possible
in every dental office.
Planmeca
ProMax 3D imaging devices utilise Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography
(CBVT) technology. It is ideal for dedicated imaging of the
maxillofacial complex as it uses a pyramid-shaped beam to scan the
entire region of interest in a single semicircle scan, as opposed to a
medical CT that takes multiple axial slices in multiple full circle
scans. During the scan, each image is generated using a short X-ray
pulse instead of continuous radiation.
SCARA
technology
- The unique SCARA technology
(Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) enables free formation of
the imaging geometry.
- Thanks to the pivoted joints,the
computer-controlled SCARA arm can produce any movement pattern
required, ensuring perfectly accurate and reliable image volume
positioning.
Flat
panel for accurate images
- The direct deposit CsI
semiconductor flat panel produces accurate, distortion-free images for
3D reconstruction.
- Unlike image intensifier sensors
that use old vacuum tube technology and multi-step focusing, flat
panels use single step image readouts with no geometric distortion, no
loss of sensitivity, and therefore no need for frequent calibration.
Pulsed
exposure
- During the scan, each image is
made using a short X-ray pulse instead of continuous
radiation.
- The total scanning time is 18
seconds, but the actual exposure time is only 3 -
12 seconds.
- The technique reduces patient
radiation dose considerably and forms a stroboscopic X-ray effect
which, together with the shortened rotation scan (only 200
degrees), virtually eliminates
artefacts, contributing to the
outstanding image quality.
- The full colour TFT display and
the graphical user interface (GUI) guide the operator with text and
clear graphic symbols.
- All exposure settings are
logically grouped and easy to understand, which makes the imaging
procedure quick, and allows the operator to fully focus on patient
positioning and communication.
Planmeca
Romexis software
Planmeca
Romexis 3D Explorer, the 3D image acquisition software for Planmeca
ProMax 3D, enables flexible viewing in all three relevant projections:
axial, coronal, and sagittal. The software incorporates a re-slicing
feature, which enhances the projections and enables real-time
three-dimensional viewing in the desired angle. A rendered 3D view
provides a realistic overview of the anatomy.
