New endodontic imaging mode from Planmeca — detailed images without noise or artefacts

Planmeca introduces a new imaging mode that is specially designed for endodontic studies. The new imaging mode is available for all Planmeca ProMax® 3D family units and provides perfect visualisation of even the finest anatomical details. The new imaging mode is ideal for endodontics and other cases with small anatomical details, such as imaging of the ear. The program produces extremely high-resolution images with a very small voxel size (only 75 µm).
Thanks to the intelligent Planmeca AINO™ noise removal and Planmeca ARA™ artefact removal algorithms, noise-free and crystal-clear images are produced.

Planmeca ARA™ removes artefacts efficiently

Metal restorations and root fillings in the patient’s mouth can cause shadows and streaks in CBCT images. The intelligent Planmeca ARA™ Artefact Removal Algorithm removes these artefacts efficiently from Planmeca ProMax® 3D images.

Planmeca AINO™ removes noise from CBCT images

A particularly low radiation dose or small voxel size can cause noise in 3D X-ray images. The new Planmeca AINO™ Adaptive Image Noise Optimiser is an intelligent noise filter that reduces noise in CBCT images without losing valuable details. The filter improves image quality in the endodontic imaging mode, where noise is inherent due to the extremely small voxel size. It is also especially useful when using the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ protocol, where noise is induced by the particularly low dose. Planmeca AINO also allows reducing exposure values and consequently the radiation dose in all other imaging modes.
