3-D dental imaging machine Kodak 9500 3D launched in India: Carestream Health

3D Dental Imaging machine – the Kodak 9500 3D, soon to be installed at the facilities of Diwanchand Imaging Center in Delhi, according to Carestream Health India.

The Kodak 9500 is a flexible and easy to use 3D dental imaging system that enables dental professionals to obtain localized, high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) images, as well as panoramic examinations, at a very affordable price point – making the power and utility of 3D technology available to general practitioners and specialists alike.

The Kodak 9500 3D coming at Diwanchand Imaging will be the first such machine to be installed in India and amongst the few worldwide.

Three-dimensional imaging in colour is now a diagnostic standard for the most complex of procedures performed by endodontists, implantologists, and other specialists.

Digital 3-D imaging provides highly detailed pictures that show actual representations of the patient’s anatomy that can be viewed from any direction. Using this modality, anatomical depth and relationships between individual features can be precisely identified and measured for more accurate diagnoses and treatment.

However, 3D imaging has typically been complex and expensive. Moreover, high doses of radiation were often associated with 3D imaging technology.

The Kodak 9500 3D system from Carestream Health on the other hand uses very low radiation dosage as compared to medical CT and on the other hand, it is a Large Field system allowing capture sizes that allows a field of view of the entire skull or jaw of the patient.

The detailed information across a large area of view can result in less invasive surgery for tooth extractions and optimized plans for orthodontic treatment.

Carestream Health, Inc. markets a broad portfolio of CR and DR systems that equips hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, orthopaedic practices and other healthcare providers with digital image capture for x-ray imaging studies.
