The result of a continuous quest for patient well-being and ever-greater diagnostic precision, Dual Energy uses two different radiant energies to identify any pathologies with greater clarity and precision.
NewTom CBCT imaging now draws on fresh energy
As of today, NewTom 7G incorporates the Dual Energy (DE) system, elevating performance to new heights and revolutionizing the way your practice operates.
Dual Energy tomography employs two distinct radiant energies to acquire two sets of images of the same anatomical area.
Since tissues have different sensitivities to different energy levels, the obtained images can now provide information on the chemical composition of the tissues themselves.
This means pathologies can be detected with greater confidence and precision.
New functions
Virtual Monochromatic Images
Dual Energy technology mitigates beam-hardening artifacts. What’s more, being able to reconstruct monochromatic virtual images at different keVs improves soft tissue imaging quality and reduces metal artifacts. Lastly, Dual Energy CBCT provides a basis for tissue characterization.
Colour-coded images
NewTom Dual Energy software ables users to perform semi-automatic tissue segmentation and apply colour codes, streamlining the differentiation of materials within the scanned area. This allows rapid and straightforward detection of potential pathologies.
Blended images
The new features enable weighted blending of high- and low-energy imaging. The resulting images combine the low noise, typical of high-energy acquisition, with the high contrast resolution of the low-energy image set.
