ZeroBase-USA, LLC is proud to announce that it has received final FDA marketing approval for the NEWTOM QR-DVT 9000, the first dedicated dentomaxillofacial digital volumetric radiology scanner available in the United States. Scan acquisition takes less than 70 seconds and patients are exposed to up to 20 times less radiation when compared with a conventional CT dental scan. Many doctors and radiologists see the approval of the NEWTOM as an advancement in the dental and medical fields.
The NEWTOM-9000 differs from traditional CT scanning devices, although the results are very similar. The NEWTOM-9000 acquisition system utilizes a single conical x-ray beam and requires only a single rotation of 360 degrees around the skull to obtain sequential radiograms that are developed into a tri-dimensional data array. This data is then used to produce clearer two- and three-dimensional images of the skull to provide dental and medical doctors with detailed information to make more accurate diagnosis and treatment plans.
The NEWTON-9000 will produce numerous images from a single scan of the skull in less time, and expose the patient to substantially less radiation than the conventional CT scanners, which is particularly beneficial to young patients. It features smart "beam-safe" beam technology and is able to calibrate itself to bone density instead of soft tissue density like the conventional CT. Therefore, patients can never be exposed to more radiation than necessary.
The NEWTOM-9000 was developed in 1996 by Quantative Radiology s.r.l. of Verona, Italy, a privately held company. ZeroBase-USA, LLC has obtained exclusive distributorship rights in the United States. For more information, email [email protected].
