A complete and precise representation of the anatomical structure of the arch is obtained. panoramic projections can be created with a constant magnification factor and optimum diagnostic quality. Gendex Takes An Award-Winning Design To The Next Level Gendex releases the newly designed Orthoralix® 8500 DDE digital panoramic with added features, a sleek modern design, plus continued affordability! Gendex is pleased to announce the launch of the new Orthoralix 8500 DDE digital panoramic system. Building on the previous 8500 that won the highest awards for its medical and industrial design attributes, Gendex is now taking this release to the next level. Video Digital Versatility CCD sensor The Orthoralix 9200 DDE records all panoramic, special, transcan and teleradiographic projections with optimum digital quality in real time at a substantially reduced patient dose in comparison with conventional film. The new, extremely compact sensor offers maximum operating comfort. The electromechanical coupling system enables a precise and reliable sensor exchange in combination devices. The Orthoralix 9200 DDE can be directly connected to an existing network (LAN) via a network connection and transmit the recorded x-ray to any connected computer. Imaging System Panoramic geometry The Orthoralix 9200 is designed to be highly flexible so that it can take a wide variety of radiographic projections. The rotation of the imaging unit comprising the DC x-ray tube and the image receiver (flat cassette) and the maximised processor-controlled movement along the two projection axes allow you to execute any movement sequence. A variety of radiographic and tomographic images can be created that are diagnostically relevant to dentists, orofacial orthopedists and oromaxillofacial surgeons. Automatic exposure The automatic exposure control (AEC) simplifies the selection of the correct exposure values. A sensor behind the image receiver detects the incident x-ray dose and corrects if necessary the programmed exposure data to correspond to the actual absorption by the patient. During the exposure, the automatic profile recognition (APR) controls the exposure in relation to the skull morphology. This yields a balanced, optimum ratio of optical density and contrast in the x-ray. AEC can also be used for teleradiographs. Digital program selection The Orthoralix 9200 DDE basic offers both basic panoramic programs and a program for isolated anterior teeth images, a projection of the anterior region with a greater slice thickness than with the standard panoramic view, an optimised program for patients with malocclusion and for orthodontic treatments. Furthermore, the oromaxillofacial projections and transcan digital program modules are optionally available to subsequently enhance the performance of the system.

Better diagnostics in panoramic imaging begins with recognition of critical aspects of the patient’s anatomy, especially focal areas. With the new 8500, focal detection is made possible by KINEMAGIC™ Articulated Motion Technology. This morphology-tracing feature precisely follows the patient’s focal trough to ensure constant focus across the image. The result is a highly diagnostic image with consistent magnification. Images from the new 8500 DDE are clear and sharp due in part to the industry’s smallest focal spot of 0.4 mm. Utilizing the latest software processing algorithms, the image data from this next generation panoramic system produces radiographs that accurately represent critical anatomies of patients. Along with child and adult pan projections, Gendex added TMJ imaging to the new panoramic system. Both frontal and lateral TMJ projections are easy to capture. Plus these new views add to the system’s value allowing dentists to take images that otherwise may be referred out. “Research indicates that adding panoramics to the practice increases diagnostics and also increases production,” states Chuck Ravetto, Vice President of Marketing for Gendex. “We are proud to offer the new 8500 not only for its highly desired features, but because it is a wise investment that helps dentists grow their practices.” Clinicians and patients alike can appreciate the new patient positioning devices. Easy-to-use leveractuated temple supports and improved bite guides help the team quickly and efficiently ensure better patient stability for more consistent imaging while providing increased patient comfort. Enhancing the visual appeal of the previous 8500, winner of the prestigious GOOD DESIGN® award in 2004 for its contemporary style, the new 8500 sports a more sleek industrial design that compliments the aesthetics in any office. Its small footprint also makes it a good choice for dentists who want to save valuable square footage.

Multimotor panoramic system Panoramic systems use different methods to generate a radiograph. Each system uses its own specific technologies for a panoramic geometry that precisely portrays the entire maxillofacial complex with precise detail and no overlapping. Innovative technology The multimotor panoramic system of the Orthoralix 8500, the result of more than three years of Gendex's experience in panoramic technology can transport the imaging system with complete freedom on the horizontal plane. The best possible representation of the imaging slice is obtained with reference to shape and thickness. The reduced deviation of the x-ray beam from the ideal orthogonality allows an almost perfect reproduction of the entire arch area. This feature of the Orthoralix 8500 enables the creation of high-quality, information-rich panoramic tomograms. Digital or film The Orthoralix 8500 gives you a choice. Regardless of whether you want to use the digital image immediately or save it for later, the Orthoralix 8500 offers a design tailored to your needs. Digital Enables direct, digital panoramic imaging at a much reduced x-ray dose than conventional x-ray film with immediate display on a monitor. The display, diagnosing, archiving and administration of digital x-rays is quicker and easier, thereby markedly improving efficiency. Digital teleradiographic projections The Orthoralix 9200 DDE Ceph has a comprehensive set of digital teleradiographic projections for various diagnostic indications. Lateral skull radiographs (LL), anterior-posterior projections (AP) posterior-anterior projections (PA), and manual imaging are possible. For imaging of the soft tissue of the facial profile in lateral projections, a special filter and optional software are offered that can be easily adapted to each facial profile. Positioning system When designing the Orthoralix 9200, particular attention was given to the methods for patient positioning since they decisively influence the general image quality and the diagnostic information. The result is a positioning system with three laser light beam localisers for efficiently adjusting the head according to anatomical standard parameters supported by fully motorised adjusting functions. Maximum positioning precision is the result, even under difficult circumstances. This feature allows you to simply, precisely and reliably create images with a great amount of diagnostic information. Panoramic system New treatment methods in dentistry require new equipment for special diagnostics that are used for initial findings, after surgery, and in follow-up examinations. The Orthoralix 9200 panoramic system takes this into account and offers numerous different projection geometries for optimum adaptation to different diagnostic demands. The installed basic projections include the standard panoramic x-ray, a panoramic projection adapted to the jaw morphology of a child, the orthogonal status reduced to the display of the teeth with improved orthogonality, and the isolated, lateral projection of both temporomandibular joints. Two optional additional program modules allow the creation of additional projections for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and the creation of transverse slices of the jaw for implantologists. Easy imaging technique Variable projection geometry As with the entire Orthoralix 9200 family, the Orthoralix 9200 DDE is equipped to make a variety of projections with a high degree of flexibility. The rotation of the imaging unit comprising the DC x-ray tube and the image receiver (flat cassette) and the maximised processor-controlled movement along the two projection axes allow you execute any movement sequence.
