ROCHESTER, New York--Twenty years after introducing the first dental digital
radiography system in the world, Eastman Kodak Company is announcing the seventh generation of KODAK RVG Digital Radiography Systems.
he new KODAK RVG 6100 Digital Radiography System offers improved positioning, patient comfort and sensor reliability through the new design.
The new sensor design helps enable more accurate and comfortable positioning and a wider variety of intraoral examinations. The rounded corners help make the sensors more comfortable for patients, and the new cable attachment helps provide both easier positioning and cable robustness.
In addition to capturing periapical and bitewing exams with size 1 and 2 sensors, the RVG 6100 System features new size 0 sensors specifically designed for pediatric examinations. The reduced sensor size is ideal for easier positioning in children's mouths or for adult patients with small mouths.
Also, the new RVG 6100 sensors will allow practitioners to reduce the patient radiation dose by up to 10 percent for sizes 1 and 2 and 40 percent for the size 0, as compared with the previous sensor generation.
An additional benefit is the increased reliability of the sensor, due to new shock
absorbing materials, which help protect the sensor from damage caused by dropping the sensor or a patient biting it. Miniaturizing of components has led to a stronger cable which is more tolerant of daily usage.
Finally, the new RVG 6100 System integrates seamlessly with KODAK practice
management software programs, as well as with other practice management programs.
