Suni Medical Imaging, a company based in San Jose, CA, USA, has introduced what it calls the only 3D Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) System for the dental and endodontic markets designed for affordability and high-definition images. Engineered for ease of use, this new high definition imaging system is equipped with simple-to-use “Easy3D” software and includes quick 3D image reconstruction times.

At a price of under US$75,000, the Suni3D HD System boasts the lowest price in the market ever for 3-D systems, according to Suni Medical Imaging. Many practitioners look at price as a major hurdle in entering the 3-D market. Suni’s new 3-D-only CBCT System provides entry to 3-D imaging at a price never before seen in the U.S. market.

The Suni3D HD System has a 0.08 voxel size, among the elite voxel sizes currently in the industry, providing image definition and anatomical landmarks that cannot be seen by traditional 2-D imaging, according to Suni Medical Imaging. Suni3D HD is a perfect fit for endodontists and practitioners performing implants, Suni Medical Imaging says.

“Suni has always been interested in the specialized needs of endodontists,” said Paul Tucker, vice president of marketing. “The small field of view design is perfect for quadrant dentistry, while keeping radiation doses for patients at a minimum. The Suni3D HD system is one of the few systems on the market with a 5x5cm focused field of view, meaning lower doses of radiation for the patient and less liability for the doctor.”

The Suni3D HD system is perfect for capturing the necessary 3D anatomic structures for even the most demanding endodontic procedures. Suni3D HD optimizes the doctor’s practice while allowing them to provide the exceptional endodontic care that patients deserve, according to Suni Medical Imaging. The new 3-D-only system is also upgradeable to include a panoramic option should the practitioner decide to perform panoramic imaging in the future.

“Suni has always been a market-driven company,” said Bill Fitzpatrick, CEO of Suni Medical Imaging. “The new Suni3D HD system is yet another addition to the string of innovations that Suni has provided to the dental industry. And, the price point for the Suni3D HD system will allow all practitioners to benefit from the improved diagnosis and treatment planning that the system provides.”

The Suni3D HD System is currently available for purchase in the United States.
