Digora

Digora, the latest innovation of Sorodex-Finndent, starts a new era in digital intraoral imaging. It utilizes actual size intraoral imaging plates that cover the same diagnostic area as conventional intraoral films. In addition, Digora makes under and over-exposed images a thimg of the past.

The unique Digora laser scanner with Windows based software features; "State of the art" digital image acquisition, image enhancement, image archival and image management with export capabilities that result in superior image quality, at reduced time and radiation exposure levels on the patient.

The Digora uses a wireless sensor plate (size 0 or 2) and the exisiting x-ray units in your office. The sensor plate is placed in the oral cavity like old-fashioned film (even using standard holders!) for any required exposure - anterior, posterior or bite-wings. The timer on your x-ray unit is turned down - usually to the lowest time setting (on a Siemens MD x-ray, set to 3/100ths of a second!). Once exposed, the sensor plate is placed into the Digora scanner, which gives you the x-ray image on the computer screen - in 23 seconds! With the image on the computer screen, you can use the Digora's powerful (yet simple) tools to enhance, measure or print the image.

Digora replaces the need for intraoral films in the Dental Office. Digora's easy to use, specially designed Imaging Plate holders help ensure accurate positioning for paralleling and bisecting angle techniques. Accurate digital bite - wing exposures are achievable. Digora Imaging Plates are available in two convenient sizes, 30mm x 40mm (no. 2 film size) and 21mm x 30mm (no. 0 film size). Digora Imaging Plates are very thin like conventional x-rays films and are wireless making them much easier to place and position into the patient's mouth.
 

Digora's True resolving power - Improved Diagnostic Image Quality

Digora's unique Digital capture system utilizes "state of the art" Imaging Plate Acquisition Technology (IPAT) to provide the highest quality digital image. Digora's high image quality is the result of a sophisticated, and well balanced image acquisition and processing system. To produce and maintain high quality diagnostic digital images, Digora utilizes a broad spectrum dynamic range, very good signal to noise ratio, and system intelligence with true resolving power.

Very good signal to noise ratio
All digital systems have some common elements; transmitter (x - ray sources), receiver, and signal and channel of communication. The advantage of the Digora system is that by utilizing Imaging Plates rather than CCD receptors, the problem of CCD detector's structural noises like dark current has been eliminated. This results in a remark ably better signal to noise ratio which produces high quality images with low levels of unwanted noise. It takes less than 30 seconds from the time you insert the imaging plate in to the scanner and you can see the whole image on the monitor screen. The image will be stored automatically. The Imaging Plates are reusable for thousands of exposures and are inexpensive to replace unlike costly CCD sensors.

Dynamic range
Digora's broad spectrum dynamic range is capable of capturing images from very low to very high energy levels, while maintaining consistent high quality of images. The use of a broad spectrum dynamic range practically eliminates the chance of over-or-under-exposed images. This clearly improves the diagnostic quality of the image while:

System intelligence with true resolving power
For a system to have true resolving power, it must have the intelligence to balance the many factors that produce a digital image. The Digora's sophisticated image capture and processing system accurately balances spatial resolution and angular resolution while optimizing the signal to noise ratio thus producing consistently high quality diagnostic images.
Image quality is more than just the number of line pairs per mm and pixel size, It involves image depth, the expressive property of each pixel or image area, dynamic range, optimal signal to noise ratio and precise use of the equipment. Digora incorporates all these factors into producing the highest quality digital image, that maximizes its diagnostic capabilities.
