ImageWorks has announced that the NewTom VGi, the professional’s choice of cone beam 3-D scanners, has added a new feature, making it the first 3-D scanner unit to capture both high-resolution images and large volume functionality in a single machine. The new collimation will allow the NewTom VGi to obtain resolutions down to a .075mm voxel, or give the operator the ability to acquire a large 15cm x 15cm field of view (FOV) scan when needed. Additionally, it adds four new FOV options, with each of the now seven FOVs having four separate possible voxel sizes. Already known for its superb image quality among oral and maxillofacial radiologists, imaging centers, and the new entrepreneurial mobile imaging center businesses, the new variable FOV feature further justifies the commonly heard “professional-grade” label these experts place on the NewTom VGi.

The Tru-Align Laser Aiming Device from Interactive Diagnostic Imaging Inc. is an X-ray add-on that dramatically improves images and safety. The internal LED laser of the Tru-Align ensures perfect alignment and eliminates cone cuts normally associated with rectangular collimation. According to the company, Tru-Align is safer (reduces radiation exposure by 60 to 70%), better (reduces scatter radiation for clearer, crisper images), and faster (reduces training time and retakes). It installs in seconds on most round cones and improves film, sensor, or phosphor plate images. For more information, visit www.idixray.com. CIRCLE 103 ON CARD
