NewTom VGi - Vertical Patient CB3D Scanner

- The NewTom VGi represents the newest in CB3D technology from the company that invented cone beam scanning
- NewTom VGi takes an image at every degree of rotation. 360° rotation = 360 images, increasing the range of possibilities for image manipulation
- Its small footprint and flexible seating make the NewTom VGi the practical choice for offices where space is at a premium
- The NewTom VGi's revolutionary flat panel x-ray detector technology, coupled with its very small focal spot, produces the clearest, sharpest images possible
- Patient positioning tools include cross-hair lasers and a mirror – powerful tools for exact horizontal and vertical patient positioning
- The NewTom VGi features image reconstruction at approximately 1 minute, which translates into less down time for the dental team
- The NewTom VGi features a single computer terminal and economical data storage
- The NewTom VGi features an adjustable Field Of View, which is the most utilized by implantologists and maxillo-facial surgeons. The adjustable Field Of View, coupled with the very small focal spot of the NewTom VGi provides superior high quality images with maximum accuracy
- With 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

- With much less radiation than most other cone-beam systems, and up to 20 - 50 times less radiation than conventional CT, the NewTom VGi 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
