Direct Conversion Detector
DCIII 11 layer Ultra HD PAN
The highly efficient Direct Conversion Detector, improving the depth of focus and increasing resolution even at low doses, offers an extended data set from which an 11-layer panoramic image can be obtained for the study of complex morphologies. The contrast level of the radiographic image obtained with the new NewTom DCIII technology improves significantly if compared to a panoramic scan performed with a traditional sensor with scintillator (CsI). In particular, the contrast level of a DC PAN increases by about 90%, practically doubling the resolving power @3 lpmm from 23% (CsI) to 43% (Cd-Te).
DCIII Ultra HD and ECO CEPH
Thanks to direct conversion technology, Ultra HD latero-lateral cephalometric exams can be performed quickly with superior detail and sharpness at low doses. Moreover, in the case of surgical follow-ups or pediatric examinations, it is possible to use the ECO option for ultra-fast scans, including Postero-Anterior views, at high resolution and extra low dose. The high sensitivity of the DC sensor allows for an almost tripled contrast level at a given resolution, using the same dose. For a Ultra HD CEPH captured with NewTom DCIII direct conversion technology, the resolving power @ 2.5 lpmm is 82% compared to 32% of a HD CEPH exam performed with a standard sensor with conventional scintillator (CsI).
