Advanced Imaging Technology

Using an image intensifier, volumetric images are produced in high quality with different formats and resolution depending on the selected Field of View. The software allows the operator to analyze the patient data volume in any 2D and 3D views. The data set can also be exported into a standard DICOM 3.0 format allowing the operator to use the data with any compatible DICOM compliant software available in the market.

NewTom 3G is available in 3 models

• Single Field of View : NewTom 3G-S9 : 150mm Field of View - Fixed

• Multiple Field of View : NewTom 3G-MF9 - 100 & 150mm Field of View - Programmable

• Multiple Field of View : NewTom 3G-MF12 - 100, 150 & 200mm Field of View - Programmable.

Horizontal Patient Positioning

The traditional NewTom structure (gantry and patient’s table) provides an ergonomic way to perform the examination. The patient, lying comfortably on the table, is an effective position to execute the scan.

NewTom "Safe Beam" Technology

The NewTom 3G employs 'Safe Beam' technology, which means that it automatically adjusts the radiation dosage according to the patient's age and size. This technology utilizes intermittent bursts of radiation only milliseconds in duration during image acquisition, and not the constant radiation stream typical of many other CBCT imaging products, patients exposure to radiation is in most cases significantly less than that of competing systems. Children, for example, receive up to 40% less radiation than adults during a typical scan. NewTom's Safe Beam image acquisition is the proven safe technology available today, for both patients and the dental team.

Simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) with Dolphin Software

The NewTom 3G Cone Beam systems are delivered standard with Dolphin 3D imaging software. All scans are initiated from within the Dolphin software and the image data set will appear automatically once the reconstruction has been completed. This software includes powerful yet intuitive tools for you to process multidimensional datasets. There are no complicated commands or scripting language to learn. Processing and analyzing three-dimensional data has never been easier.

Object Orientation

To maximize the consistency of measurements of a 3D volume, it is crucial to establish a default orientation. Dolphin 3D provides comprehensive tools for defining the mid-sagittal, axial and coronal planes. You can also adjust the object's default yaw, pitch and roll. These operations can be performed on the CT soft tissue surface, CT hard tissue surface or 3D photo surface.

Take advantage of the pre-set positions on an object that has been oriented: front, back, right, left, top, bottom, oblique and isometric views.

Multiple Planar Views and Layouts

Choose a layout that is best suited to your task:

• 3D volume (just the 3D volume view)
• Volume+3 planes (3D volume and 3 cross section planes on the side)
• 4-views (3D volume and the cross section planes in equal sized windows)
• Individual orthogonal projected slices: sagittal, coronal and axial planes

Instant Ceph/Pan

Create two-dimensional radiographic images from 3D volume dataset in the lateral, panoramic (OPG), frontal and SMV views. Reconstruct radiographs in:

1:1 projection (no distortion, no magnification)
Simple orthogonal/magnification projection (input % of magnification desired)

Complex traditional x-ray perspective projection (input detailed x-ray machine geometry; most accurately simulates traditional x-ray)

Image filters to help emphasize different structures of interest: including MIP (maximum intensity projection), Ray-sum (academic standard) and a collection of Dolphin proprietary filters.

Radiographic images can be saved in the Dolphin Imaging database for report generation and two-dimensional cephalometric tracing (Dolphin Ceph Tracing software required for 2D tracing).

Digitizing/Measuring

Dolphin 3D makes harvesting data from 3D volume simple, and is an excellent tool for research and data collection.

You can measure distances and angles in 3D; design your own analysis in 3D or in 2D (Dolphin Ceph Tracing software required for 2D analysis).

Landmarks can be used in a 3D analysis or translated into identified 2D lateral or frontal cephalometric analyses, such as Roth-Jarak, McNamara, etc. Further, the 2D points can include x-ray magnification to be compatible with existing norm values.

3D Nerve Marking

Patent-pending interactive tool to locate and isolate the nerve canal on a panoramic projection
Clearly draw the visible nerve canals with your choice of width, color
View/edit corresponding cross sections of nerve positions
View the marked nerve canal within 3D rendering of the skull volume

TMJ View

Choose an area of interest; set center point and axis direction, designed specifically for analyzing the temporomandibular joint
Choose desired slice thickness, width, number and direction (coronal, sagittal, or patent-pending circular)
View key cross-sections at the chosen axes

Cross Section View

Choose an area of interest; set center point and direction
Choose desired slice thickness, width, number, and direction (coronal, sagittal, or patent-pending circular)
View cross-sections at the chosen axes
Examine a nearly infinite number of groups of slices

3D Visualization

Dolphin gives you the power to freely visualize the volume in 3D. In addition to switching from hard tissue and soft tissue views, you can also activate the See-thru hard tissue renderings. Adjust the factor of translucency and intensity to reveal the structure you desire.

Clipping tools are also very useful for quickly visualizing hidden structures, or to simply eliminate portions of the contents that are not relevant.

Movie/Image Layout Scripts

You can create a script by collecting key frames (or, snap shots) of your 3D volume; by altering its position, zoom factor, translucency, segmentation and timing attributes.

Dolphin 3D can then create a smooth animated movie from your script. Spin, fly-by, exploit and see-through your volumetric object. Email movie files or add them to your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. You control the movie speed, resolution, quality and file size with selectable video drivers (codec). Output to a variety of standard formats: AVI, Quick Time, MPEG, etc.

Automatically export the script keyframes as individual Dolphin images. Create a composite set of image layouts of your 3D volume for later viewing or for transfer to referrals.
