XXXXX a6 Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | July 2014 Industry News Ad Planmeca offers noise-free 3-D imaging The ProMax® 3Ds and 3D units from Planmeca (National Dental Association exhibit hall booth No. 703) are designed for capturing the smallest anatomical details with precision. High-resolution images with a 75 μm voxel size and effi- cient artifact removal make these units an ideal choice for effective case plan- ning and precise diagnostic capabilities, according to the company. Versatile, selectable volume sizes on the ProMax ensure observance of the ALARA radiation principle; these include 5-by-5 and 5-by-8 cm for the ProMax 3Ds and 4-by-5, 4-by-8, 8-by-5 and 8-by-8 for the ProMax 3D. Noise-free images The Planmeca AINO™ (Adaptive Im- age Noise Optimizer) is an intelligent 3-D noise filter that removes noise from CBCT images without losing valuable de- tails. The result is a crystal clear, highly diagnostic image, according to the com- pany. Features include: • Analyzes the reconstruction expo- sure data during reconstruction and adaptively differentiates noise and fine details. • AINO filter is enabled in Planmeca Romexis® 3D capturing screen, while the original image is also stored and accessible. • Improves image quality in end- odontic mode where noise is inherent because of small voxel sizes. • Also useful in ultra low-dose images. Artifact removal Planmeca ARA™ artifact removal al- gorithm removes shadows and streaks from the 3-D image, such as those caused by metal and root fillings, according to Planmeca. Ideal patient support The adjustable patient support keeps the patient firmly and comfortably in place, providing high-quality images without artifacts caused by movement, according to Planmeca. Comprehensive Planmeca Romexis software All ProMax™ units include Planmeca Ro- mexis open-architecture software with versatile tools for endodontic diagnostic and treatment planning needs, such as true measurements and 3-D visualiza- tion of root canals.
