The Panoura 18S Dental Panoramic X-Ray Machine: for Dental Professionals who want to maximize the information from their panoramic x-rays, and DESPISE retakes. Most Panoramic CMOS sensors use lower-cost materials that are less sensitive to x-ray. Therefore, these sensors must convert x-ray to light before converting to a digital signal. This can result in image blurriness because the extra conversion step can cause the radiation to “fan out” and inadvertently trigger surrounding pixels. The Panoura 18S utilizes a Direct Conversion (sometimes referred to as “Cadmium Telluride”) sensor that converts x-ray directly to digital, which contributes to a much sharper image.

The Panoura 18S also has Multi-Focal Plane capture capability. This means that every scan captures many layers both forward and backward. This creates a wide “envelope” where much more data is captured around where the patient is positioned. With most panoramic x-ray units, the arch of the patient needs to be exactly where the machine wants: along the path where the beam is focused.

Features:

• Vertical bitewing feature as well as FMX Clipping feature creates 18 intraoral-sized images clipped from the pan with one click

• Ideal tool for patients who won’t tolerate traditional PAs

• Instead of taking 18 individual images with an intraoral X-Ray, they can all be generated at once in 14 seconds
