Teledyne DALSA Showcases Digital X-ray Imaging at International Dental Show / Intra- and Extra-Oral Panels, Scanners and Sensors for OEM Dental X-ray Imaging Systems

WATERLOO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/11 -- Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and a global leader in digital image sensing technology, will feature its latest advancements in digital X-ray imaging for dental radiography at the upcoming 34th International Dental Show (IDS), the leading trade fair for the dental sector. The fair will be held March 22 - 26 at Kolnmesse in Cologne, Germany, and DALSA will be located in Hall 02.2 Stand A080.

Featured X-ray Imaging Technology

Xineos-1313: Next Generation CMOS Flat Panel for Panoramic and Cone Beam CT Dental Imaging - Teledyne DALSA's Xineos represents the industry's first flat-panel detector to exceed image intensifier performance for low dose imaging while at the same time providing higher speed, higher resolution and simplified Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The Xineos-1313-EO is designed to operate at full resolution for both frame-based panoramic imaging, at frame rates exceeding 300 fps, as well as for Medium Field of View (MFOV) Cone Beam CT applications at 30 fps.

Argus-PAN: Cost-effective CCD/TDI X-ray imaging detector provides high resolution with easy Ethernet connectivity - The Argus-PAN, the first product from Teledyne DALSA's newest family of scanning X-ray detectors is designed for extra-oral X-ray imaging applications. Extremely low noise operation, coupled with high performance 16-bit ADC, ensures above 80dB of imaging dynamic range. Argus scanning detectors provide a large field of view from 220 mm to 440 mm and beyond. Argus detectors use high resolution CsI scintillator technology and employ standard Ethernet connectivity for ease of integration.

Intra-Oral Dental X-ray Sensors: CMOS-based X-ray sensors enable high resolution, low dose imaging in an industry standard, robust package - Teledyne DALSA's Intra-Oral Dental X-ray Sensors deliver a field-proven dental imaging solution based on fully-integrated CMOS photodiode arrays specifically designed for dental radiography. High resolution 22.5 micrometre pixels maximize image quality while minimizing patient exposure to radiation, revealing details that are hidden by conventional imaging techniques. Sensors are packaged in an industry-standard #1 or #2 sized thermoplastic enclosure that is ultrasonically welded to form a water-tight seal. This rugged packaging, with rounded corners for patient comfort, protects the sensor from everyday handling and cleaning.
