NewTom CBCT Scanners

AFP Imaging: The Future of 3D Radiography

The NewTom family of products includes the NewTom Patient 3G and the NewTom VG CBCT scanners.

The NewTom 3G provides a comprehensive, fully integrated imaging solution designed to improve diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities. Because images are acquired with the patient to be lying down, the NewTom 3G enhances patient comfort and safety, and increases the efficiency of the scanning procedure.

The complete NewTom 3G system includes scanner, patient table, scan computer workstation, reconstruction computer workstation, and all software. The system is designed to fit into a room as small as 7.5 by 9 feet, and delivery, installation, and training are included with purchase or lease.

The NewTom VG is one of the newer additions to the NewTom family of products. Unlike the 3G, the VG is an upright scanning system, with no fixed seating. This means that all patients, even those confined to wheelchairs, can be positioned very easily for scanning. The system’s seating flexibility also means that adults and children can be readily accommodated. In addition, since it looks very much like a panoramic unit, the NewTom VG provides an important level of comfort and familiarity for patients.

 



The NewTom VG has a footprint of about 3.7’ by 5’, making it a practical option even for practices where office space is at a premium. The complete NewTom VG system includes scanner, cabinet with electronic circuitry (conveniently locatable up to 10 feet from the scanner), computer workstation, and all required software. A complete training program is also included with purchase or lease. The NewTom VG’s image quality, patient safety features, and flexibility make it the best value CBCT system on the market today.

Both the NewTom 3G and the NewTom VG feature Safe Beam™ technology, which enables the scanner to automatically adjust the radiation dosage according to the patient’s age and size. Because it utilizes intermittent bursts of radiation only milliseconds in duration during image acquisition, and not the constant radiation stream typical of some other CBCT imaging products, patients' exposure to radiation is in most cases significantly less than that of competing systems. Children, for example, receive up to 40% less radiation than adults during a typical scan. NewTom’s Safe Beam™ image acquisition is the proven safe technology for both patients and the dental team.

 

NewTom 3G

Horizontal Patient CBCT Scanner

  • The NewTom 3G has a very low exposure. With 10 to 20 times less radiation than other cone-beam systems, the NewTom 3G scanner uses a unique “pulse” system that unlike other systems, activates the x-ray source only when needed—delivering less than 6 seconds of total exposure for a full scan.

 

  • With the NewTom 3G’s exclusive Safe Beam technology, the radiation level is set automatically through the evaluation of the patient’s anatomical density. A small child will receive up to 40% less radiation than the already very low level for a full-sized adult. Safe Beam technology automatically and continuously monitors system operations eliminating the possibility of incorrect exposures
  • The NewTom 3G enables the patient to lie comfortably on a padded patient table during the 36-second single-pass scan, resulting in less patient movement and greater image accuracy
  • A single NewTom 3G scan captures a complete record in the form of a database of digital image information from which multiple types of 3D images, including primary reconstruction images in multiple planes, can be created using the system software
  • The NewTom 3G’s precise 1:1 scale imaging eliminates the magnification errors of conventional cephalometric imaging technology, eliminating the distortion and inaccuracy that characterize conventional 2D imaging and providing the most accurate images possible for diagnoses and treatment planning

NewTom VG

Vertical Patient CBCT Scanner

 

  • The NewTom VG represents the newest in CBCT technology from the company that invented cone beam scanning
  • Its small footprint and flexible seating make the NewTom VG the practical choice for offices where space is at a premium.
  • The NewTom VG’s revolutionary flat panel x-ray detector technology, coupled with its very small focal spot, produces the clearest, sharpest images possible
  • The NewTom VG features faster image reconstruction, which translates into less down time for the dental team.
  • The NewTom VG features a single computer terminal and economical data storage.
  • The NewTom VG features a single 8"x10" Field Of View, which is the most utilized by implantologists and maxillo-facial surgeons. The 8"x10" Field Of View, coupled with the very small focal spot of the NewTom VG means high quality images, great accuracy.
  • The NewTom VG has a very low exposure. With much less radiation than most other cone-beam systems, and up to 20 - 50 times less radiation than conventional CT, the NewTom VG scanner uses a unique “pulse” system that unlike other systems, activates the x-ray source only when needed—delivering less than 4 seconds of total exposure for a full scan.
  • With the NewTom VG’s exclusive Safe Beam technology, the radiation level is set automatically through the evaluation of the patient’s anatomical density. A small child will receive up to 40% less radiation than the already very low level for a full-sized adult. Safe Beam technology automatically and continuously monitors system operations eliminating the possibility of incorrect exposures
