Kodak 9000 3D Imaging System
The state of the art Kodak 9000 3D CBCT is one of the most advanced diagnostic imaging
system - capable of 3 dimensional views with the finest image resolution of 76
micron (0.076mm) slices. It has the least exposure to radiation as
compared to other CBCT/medical CT equipment.
Radiation exposure is even less than what one would be exposed to on a plane
ride:
| Kodak 9000 3D (depending on area) |
5 to 38 µSv |
| Typical CBCT |
50-700 µSv |
| Bitewing X-ray |
10 µSv |
| Cross country plane ride |
50 µSv |
| Living in a brick house/year |
500-1,000 µSv |
| Medical CT of jaw |
2,000 µSv |
| Smoking 2 packs a day/year |
80,000 µSv |
The Kodak 9000 3D takes images in extremely fine resolution that it is capable of
seeing how the root of a tooth is shaped and if a nerve canal is patent and
accessible or calcified and closed.
It is capable of seeing infection from developing fractures, root tip infections
and undiagnosed root during root-canal treatment normally not
visible in 2 dimensional X-ray images.
It is capable of showing 2 dimensionally hidden teeth and of determining
the degree of difficulty and risk related to 3rd Molar Extraction surgery.
