Vidar Systems has introduced the Dental Film Digitizer, which allows dental professionals to create quality digital images from analog dental film for primary diagnostic use.
The digitizer is ideal for dental offices that are already using digital intraoral imaging but have not yet made the conversion with their panoramic and cephalometric imaging equipment, according to Vidar. The device is compact, connects to a PC with a USB cable, and uses a TWAIN interface to connect to dental imaging software.
It is the only scanner that meets U.S. and European regulatory guidelines for dental applications, according to the company, noting that the digital image can legally replace the original x-ray film.
Dental films of all standard sizes can be digitized quickly, the company noted; for example, panoramic films can be digitized in just 18 seconds.
