The NewTom 3G
The NewTom 3G is a new dentomaxillofacial CT scanner, designed for dental practices.
Introduced as a top-of-the-range scanner with more imaging possibilities than the existing NewTom 9000.
Both machines use CBVT (or Cone Beam Volumetric Tomography) technology and a low-energy x-ray tube, similar to that found in dental panoramic machines.
This makes 3-D radiography much safer for dental patients as the radiation incurred is only about 50 μSv, or around 80% less than a scan from a typical full-body hospital scanner.
NewTom's information-rich 3-D imagery can improve diagnosis and treatment planning in many areas - more confident implant surgery is just one of its benefits.
Testimonials
"Images can be generated with significantly less radiation."
-- James Mah, DDS, DMSc University of Southern California School of Dentistry
"The NewTom Scanner will revolutionize our profession and the way we treat our patients."
-- Joseph Caruso, DDS Head of the Orthodontic Department Loma Linda University
"With the NewTom I know that my patients are getting the best diagonosis possible. I am able to see things now that were not possible with panoramic x-rays. This is a huge benefit in my treatment planning and reduced chair time"
-- Cris Simmons, DDS Seattle, WA
"The amount of information available from a single scan is incredible and fills so many of the missing links in diagnosis and treatment design. This is a different way of looking inside the head!"
-- Carl F. Gugino, DDS Buffalo, NY and Sarasota, FL
"Once the doctor experiences the "insight" value of the NewTom scan, traditional cephalometric radiographs will no longer be adequate!"
-- David L. Leever, DDS Temple Terrace, FL
"The NewTom 9000 is a scientific breakthrough. A new standard of care in Dentistry and Maxillo-Facial Radiology."
-- Ivan Dus, MD, DDS, PhD Loma Linda University Department of Orthodontics
