88 AustrAlAsiAn Dentist Feature: raDIograpHy, X-ray & DIgItal IMagIng K irrawee dentist, Dr tim Clipsham, is one of the many in Australia to benefit from the image clarity and ease of use of the award-winning X-Mind X-ray unit available exclusively from A-dec. Dr Clipsham who runs a general dental practice in the sutherland shire of sydney said he found the X-Mind X-ray very simple to use. the X-Mind X-ray unit is used in conjunction with a compact Acteon PsPiX Phosphor image Plate unit. the revolutionary PsPiX is the smallest and faster phosphor plate unit available – processing a digital image in just seconds. “Once the guys from Presidental helped me set up the PsPiX and the X-Mind in the surgery it hasn’t missed a beat. i find that i can position the X-ray head and take images from different angles using holders for producing bitewing and periapical images. “the X-ray arm has a good reach to it and the PsPiX unit is very fast and produces very clear images,” Dr Clipsham said. the PsPiX is available with a range of different size phosphor plates, which make it suitable for all patients including children and those with smaller mouth openings. Phosphor plates are much smaller and flexible than solid state digital sensors which make them more comfortable for the patient and able to obtain images in tighter spaces. the processing speed of the PsPiX means images are available quickly on a networked computer monitor, with one small PsPiX unit able to serve an entire practice with linked workstations. u More information is available from your nearest A-dec dealer.
