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.
CT Scan
Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC) is the first dental clinic in Thailand utilizing the latest ProMax 3D CT Scans. The Planmeaca ProMax 3D is designed to obatin complete information on patient anatomy.
Planmeca ProMax 3D concept is an intelligent and multipurpose X-ray unit series designed to obtain complete information on patient anatomy in the minutest detail. The units provide digital panoramic, cephalometric, and 3D imaging, as well as advanced imaging software tools to comply with every possible need in dental radiology.
Planmeca ProMax 3D s is ideal for imaging of small details, the 3D concept covers the whole dentition area and enables imaging of the whole maxillofacial region. Read more on the Planmeca ProMax 3D CT Scan.
Panoramic
and Cephalometric X-ray Machine
Promax panoramic digital x-ray
The latest Promax panoramic digital x-ray from Planmeca
provides its superior image quality, ease of operation
and wide range of exposure possibilities.Planmeca Promax
provides anatomically correct panoramic radiographs.
The focal layer follows the scientifically assessed
form of the human jaw which results in images with clearly
superior clinical quality.
  
With vertical segmenting, the exposed area can be limited
only to the area of diagnostic interest. Simple selection
on the main display, and the patient dose can be reduced
by up to 80% compared to a full area panoramic exposure.
This is highly advantageous and radiation hygienic in
cases where a follow-up image is needed of a limited
part of the jaw.
 Advantages
of digital imaging:
- Direct digital X-ray imaging saves
time as Images appear on-screen within seconds after
the exposure and are immediately available for diagnosis
anywhere in the practice network
- Imaging process is not sensitive
to external factors like film based imaging. Since
film, film processing and darkroom are no longer needed,
the most common reasons for image retakes are eliminated.
- Digital images can be enhanced in
imaging software. This brings new opportunities in
diagnostics and allows adjustment of the image darkness
and contrast if they are not optimal in the original
image.
- Digital archives and networks enable
efficient image communications. Electronic image copies
are of original quality and thus the heghest qualtiy
image is always available for diagnostics and consultation.
The Planmeca Dimax digital imaging system is based
on the latest CCD technology, providing digital radiographs
of high diagnostic quality. The Dimax Ceph system expands
the performance of Planmeca ProMax to direct digital
cephalometry.
 In
Planmeca Promax, the side entry and the open positioning
concept minimize errors caused by incorrect patient
positioning, one of the most frequent reasons for failed
radiographs. A triple laser beam system accurately indicates
the correct anatomical positioning points.
Side entry allows easy access to the X-ray unit for
all types of patients. The exposure can be performed
with a standing patient, a seated patient on a wheelchair
or on a hospital bed.
Each patient is an individual, whose bone and tissue
thickness varies according to his/her size, race and
age. The digital Planmeca Promax unit has the unique
Automatic Gain Control (AGC), which optimizes the sensitivity
of the digital sensor to produce optimum image quality
from each individual.
Transtomography is a new digital imaging system developed
by Planmeca. Transtomography uses multiple sweep method
whereas the linear tomography uses one sweep. Transtomography
combines the translation movement with an oscillation
movement where the center of the rotation moves over
the region of intrest. The layer thickness can be adjusted
like in film based linear tomography. Due to the developed
imaging method, the image of the anatomies are truthful
and information maximized.
Orthoralix 9200 X-ray system
 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.
