X-ray Machines and Film Processor
As dentistry has advanced beyond basic care into new
areas such as implantology, cosmetics, and other treatments
of the entire dento-maxillo-facial complex, so too must
the diagnostic tools keep pace with the need for a higher
quality of general and specific information. BIDC is
fully equipped with our own X-ray machines and in-house
film processor. This enables our patients to get their
diagnosis results instantly and treatment plan drawn
up effectively in one visit.
Panoramic
and Cephalometric X-ray Machine
The
new Orthoralix 9200 X-ray system from Gendex is one
of the most innovative system available today for radiological
examinations over the whole maxillo-facial structure.
The Orthoralix 9200 X-ray system has programs that allows
configuring the system to the actual diagnostic requirements.
It is a professional tool designed to provide a complete
set of pre- and post-operative examinations giving the
wide range of radiographic views.
  
Gendex has had a long-standing experience in panoramic
radiology. The X-ray generator is driven by the microprocessor
to precisely combine rotation with forward-backward
and right-left movements in capturing panoramic and
celpholometric x-rays on film. Innovative high frequency
DC generators optimizes radiation output resulting in
low patient dose. Small narrow and focus beam techniques
results in excellent visualization of antomic structures.
Precise imaging geometry and optimum beam direction
yiels a continuous image that accurately depicts the
shape of the dental arch.

Intra-oral
X-ray Machines


|
Our clinics has four intraoral
x-ray machines from BlueX, Dabi Atlante and Gendex
available. The intraoral x-ray machines provide
simple and fast slide x-rays that enables our
dental specialists to make the proper diagnoses
for our patients.
The beam limiting device of the BlueX intra-oral
x-ray machine allows the reduction of a patient's
exposure to radiation. Its microprocessor allows
tooth type and patient size inputs to determine
time values and control radiation dose reduction
when using digital receptors. |

Dabi
Atlante's intra-oral x-ray machines are known for providing
safety and precision. Its selection of Radiography type,
tooth type and position, film and patient's age allows
for better radiographic quality and precise film exposition
adjustment. Its automatic time correction device corrects
automatically the exposure time, according to the voltage
oscillations in the electrical power source, keeping
the radiation levels steady.

The Dabi Atlante's intra-oral x-ray machine has a dual
collimation system that eliminates the formation of
secondary rays in the primary beam, avoiding any unnecessary
exposure to the patient thus minimizing health risks.
In addition, the camera's accidental activation blocking
mechanism prevents consecutive shooting, eliminating
unnecessary exposure to radiation and overheating.



Film
Processor
Our clinic uses the Film Processor to develop our x-ray
films so that our patients get their results instantly.
BIDC is equipped with our own darkroom for film processing.
The Processor is a closed chemical system, sealing both
wash water and chemistry. It processes intraoral, panoramic
and cephalometric films. Temperature, time and film
drying are fully automatic allowing for quality x-ray
film processing.
