I industry news _ Planmeca _Units in the Planmeca ProMax 3D family of- fer the unique Planmeca Ultra Low Dose imaging protocol, which enables CBCT imaging with an even lower patient radiation dose than standard 2-D panoramic imaging. This pioneering imaging protocolisbasedonintelligent3-Dalgorithmsde- veloped by Planmeca and yields a vast amount of detailed anatomical information at a very low pa- tient dose. The protocol can be used with all voxel sizes and in all imaging modes from Normal to Endodontic mode.UsingthePlanmecaUltraLowDoseprotocol reducestheeffectivepatientdosebyupto75–80%. Ultra low dose images are ideal for many clinical cases, such as: _Orthodontics: –Defining the amount of bone around the root –Localising unerupted and impacted teeth before orthodontic treatment –Defining orthodontic landmarks for cephalo- metric analysis _Post-operative and follow-up images in maxillofa- cial surgery _Airway studies _Sinus studies _Implant planning. The Planmeca Ultra Low Dose imaging protocol lowers the effective patient dose by up to 75%.
