The X-ray unit uses Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(CBCT) to produce three-dimensional (3D) X-ray images.
Panoramic, cephalometric and projection radiography
techniques can be used for two-dimensional (2D) X-rays.
If the X-ray unit has a ProFace sensor, you can take a 3D
photo of the patient's face.
The X-ray images can be used to examine:
• Dentomaxillofacial area
• Ear, nose and throat
• Cervical spine
• Other cranial anatomies
The 3D face photo can be used for patient education or in
order to follow the results of medical treatments.
You need a PC with the Planmeca Romexis program in
order to save, view and modify the images.
Make sure that you are fully acquainted with the
appropriate radiation protection measures and these
instructions before you use the X-ray unit.
NOTE The X-ray unit may be used by health care
professionals only.
