NewTom DCiS

Direct conversion technology

The DCiS is the first intraoral sensor on the market to integrate direct conversion technology

What does this mean?

• Normal sensors are sensitive to visible light, so X-rays are usually converted through a scintillator before being captured by the sensor
• Direct Conversion technology allows the sensor can receive and process X-rays directly
• High resolution images are captured, with excellent contrast levels and low X-ray doses to safeguard patient health
• Plus, the size of the sensor is reduced and its strength is increased, as it doesn't include the traditionally fragile components

Enhanced ergonomics

• This size 2 sensor has rounded corners, which are less invasive for the patient
• The active area is wider than in traditional sensors, to increase the scan area
• The sensor is thinner, which takes up less storage space
• The absence of a cable prevents further discomfort for the patient
• Optional accessories allow correct alignment and minimises the irradiated area

Positioning

• The alignment system has been specially designed for the sensor and won't add to the footprint
• It ensures patient comfort while mkaing positioning easier
• It also allows the X-ray source to be closer to the patient, reduces the amount of unnecessary exposure to other tissues
