Integrated X-Ray unit
With incorporation of the wireless-controlled high-frequency X-ray unit, Anthos offers a truly comprehensive, integrated treatment centre. Add to this an X-ray sensor and a monitor and in no time at all you will be able to view X-rays on screen. An integrated monitor and the immediate availability of diagnostic data does away with waiting times and interruptions to the workflow.
HyperSphere technology
The full-swivel ball joint is no less than revolutionary. Rotating freely around the sphere, the tube head can reach any position, even the vertical. An automatic touch-sensitive lock/release device allows effortless single-handed repositioning of the tube head between one exposure and the next.
Specifically designed for digital X-ray imaging, the constant potential tube head, together with the 0.4 mm focal spot - among the smallest available - ensures images are always in-focus. The X-ray unit is supplied with a rectangular cone that extends 4” beyond the tube body as standard. This gives a focal spot-skin distance of 12” (30 cm), contributing to enhanced parallelism of the X-ray beam.
Irradiation is limited to the area of interest only, thus protecting surrounding zones from needless exposure.
If use of the round collimator is required (e.g. for occlusal arch images) all you need to do is remove the rectangular collimator as the round one is already incorporated in the tube itself, while still ensuring a distance of 8” (20 cm) between focal spot and skin.
The handheld digital control unit communicates with the X-ray tube head wirelessly, thus allowing in-surgery positioning of controls exactly as desired.
Zero-impact installation
System compactness saves more than just space: it also saves money. Once the dental unit is installed the X-ray unit is ready to use – our components require no mechanical on-wall installation at all. Even the X-ray unit control panel is completely wireless.
The control device provides a complete range of easy-to-understand exposure programmes. No more complicated programming or panels with a multitude of keys: just select the anatomical region of interest and the RXDC automatically calculates the correct exposure.
Multi-Mode
The most appropriate combination of technical factors (kV, mA and exposure time) is calculated automatically according to the build of the patient and the anatomic region of interest.
