“AFP Imaging is truly dedicated to my success. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile have been impressive—a welcome alternative to would-be competitors. They stand behind their products with excellent support.”

~Robert Horowitz, DDS, Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Implant Dentistry at the New York University College of Dentistry, in private practice limited to Periodontics and implant dentistry in Scarsdale, NY and New York City

 

NewTom 3G

Horizontal Patient CBCT Scanner

  • The NewTom 3G is the only cone beam scanner on the market capable of providing three fields of view, 6”, 9”, and 12” (cephalometric), from a single scan
  • The NewTom 3G has a very low exposure. With 10 to 20 times less radiation than other cone-beam systems, the NewTom 3G scanner uses a unique “pulse” system that unlike other systems, activates the x-ray source only when needed—delivering less than 6 seconds of total exposure for a full scan.

  • With the NewTom 3G’s exclusive Safe Beam technology, the radiation level is set automatically through the evaluation of the patient’s anatomical density. A small child will receive up to 40% less radiation than the already very low level for a full-sized adult. Safe Beam technology automatically and continuously monitors system operations eliminating the possibility of incorrect exposures
  • The NewTom 3G enables the patient to lie comfortably on a padded patient table during the 36-second single-pass scan, resulting in less patient movement and greater image accuracy
  • A single NewTom 3G scan captures a complete record in the form of a database of digital image information from which multiple types of 3D images, including primary reconstruction images in multiple planes, can be created using the system software
  • The NewTom 3G’s precise 1:1 scale imaging eliminates the magnification errors of conventional cephalometric imaging technology, eliminating the distortion and inaccuracy that characterize conventional 2D imaging and providing the most accurate images possible for diagnoses and treatment planning
