It is ideal for use with phosphor plates. Your A-dec dealer can recommend the right arm configuration to reach your patient chair. Choosing the right digital imaging solution When buying digital imaging equipment, it is important to deal with a recognised supplier offering local service support, access to spare parts and experience in radiation certification. You should also choose the latest technology including superior image quality and low radiation emissions. This includes Automatically Controlled Exposure (ACE), X-ray units with a small focal spot and digital sensors with a small pixel size. Importantly, instant access to the highest quality images requires software supporting a streamlined digital workflow, which improves both the speed and accuracy of diagnosis. While some practices have made the investment in expensive OPG and CBCT units, the digital X-ray unit and a phosphor plate scan- ner are the most relied on and valuable digital imaging devices in most dental surgeries. Compatibility An X-ray unit will require a phosphor plate or digital sensor to capture the X-ray images. Purchasing compatible components from one manufacturer ensures no integration issues, preserves image quality and simplifies training and maintenance. Acteon – available in Australia through A-dec – has best-in-class technology for the highest image quality and easy to use Acteon Imaging Suite (AIS) software. AIS makes it simple to integrate images from Acteon PSPIX phosphor plate scanners, Sopix sensors, Acteon extra-oral OPG/CBCT units and even Sopro intraoral cameras. The open platform software architecture also allows exporting images to recognised third party applications for further analysis if desired. Where to start The key piece of imaging equipment for most practices is an X-ray unit coupled with either a phosphor plate scanner or digital sensor for fast access to X-ray images. Silicone keyboard This high quality silicone keyboard and mouse combines active silver Nano technology to provide complete sealing so it is easy to clean and disinfect in any healthcare environment. Being IP68 rated the keyboard and mouse is fully sealed and waterproof. With slightly raised keys, providing the feel of a traditional keyboard, the silicone keyboard and mouse is the ideal solution for sterile environments such as hospitals, medical centres, dental surgeries, veterinary clinics and laboratories where hygiene and cleanliness is paramount. Àew Àroducts from IC u IP68 water and dust protection rating u Easy to clean wipe and disinfect u Surface keys protrude only 0.5mm allowing for easy cleaning images in just 12 seconds with its fully automated process. Just drop the phosphor plate into the scanner and it does the rest. PSPIX uses exclusive FIBER2PIXEL technology for superior image quality, contrast and clarity. Its compact size means it can fit easily on any bench, providing rapid access to images within the surgery. It is also fully networkable throughout the practice. PSPIX2 is a convenient and affordable option with the added advantage of different size flexible phosphor plates that are easier to position than a bulky digital sensor, making it the most suitable and comfortable option for smaller and younger patients. PSPiX2 has a simple colour touch screen and is the only scanner with removable parts that can be sterilized in an autoclave, offering simple and effective infection control. Imaging software The all-important Acteon Imaging Suite (AIS) imaging software will harness the power of all your digital imaging equipment, making images available to view, store and manipulate. AIS uses TWAIN technology which links images with applications, such as common patient management software or other programs such as Orthodontic programs as well as accommodating STL format images from implant databases in both Windows and MAC format. Let the imaging experts at A-dec and Acteon introduce your practice to the world of advanced digital imaging in an affordable, efficient way.

Acteon’s CMOS sensor technology features automatically controlled (ACE) exposure that reduces radiation by up to 50% according to patient morphology, ensuring better images every time, no more overexposed images, prolonged sensor life and greater patient safety.
