Of interest to dentists and their patients is the cumulative radiation dose necessary to capture a scan of the area of interest. Per the ALARA principle, as little as reasonably achievable is warranted.
CBCT machines like the Planmeca ProMax systems require exposure to higher doses of radiation than conventional panoramic X-rays, but systems like these also offer multiple FOV sizes as well as the ability to collimate down the beam to the area of interest, minimizing overall radiation exposure.
In fact, Planmeca ProMax systems utilize another proprietary technology, Planmeca CALM Movement Artifact Correction that helps eliminate artifacts on scans caused by patient movements, minimizing the need for retakes, enabling closer adherence to the ALARA principle.
Saves Time and Guards Patients
Every time a patient moves, it can compromise the fidelity of a CBCT scan, and in fact, patient movements constitute one of the most significant barriers, if not the single most significant to capturing an accurate scan.
Movement artifacts can vary from minor inconveniences to serious issues that make effective interpretation and diagnose difficult to impossible. They can also necessitate retakes, which takes more time, costs more money, and of course, requires additional radiation exposure, which both practitioners and their patients would reasonably like to avoid.
Planmeca’s CALM Movement Artifact Correction technology accommodates for patient movements and cancels out the effects on the scan, enabling clinicians to capture accurate, high-quality scans, every time.
This makes dental CBCT machines like those in the Planmeca ProMax series ideal for dentists treating patients who are restless or fidgety, such as the very young, elderly patients, or those with special needs.
Equally notable is the fact that this proprietary technology is compatible with all Planmeca 3D units, volumes and voxel sizes as a software update. It also adds less than 30 seconds to the overall scan time,
Importantly, this technology can be applied both before and after the scan; this enables rectification of a scan after it is captured but also enables professionals to ensure that volumes are already corrected when accessing the files through Planmeca’s Romexis software.
Doctors are in near-universal consensus; Planmeca’s CALM Movement Artifact Correction technology saves time, reduces retakes, and improves the image quality of captured scans, improving the standard of care across the board.
