24 November 2015 - - US-based dental equipment maker Air Techniques, Inc. has added to its ProVecta line of digital X-rays with the new ProVecta S-Pan Ceph, the company said.

According to the company, the ProVecta S-Pan Ceph produces quick cephalometric projections with the best image quality at a low X-ray dose. The short scanning time of 4.1 seconds makes it one of the fastest linear ceph designs currently available.

This quick scanning time significantly reduces the risk of motion blur. For young patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, the combination of low X-ray dose and short scanning time presents a considerable advantage for the patient and practice.

An optimum workflow is achieved with ProVecta S-Pan Ceph's two high-end CsI sensors, which are integrated in the unit.

This enables the system all of the functions and advantages of the ProVecta S-Pan Panoramic X-Ray. The sensors also eliminate the tedious, time-consuming switching between the panoramic X-ray unit and the cephalometric arm, the company said.
