New Kodak 9000 Digital X Ray Machine


To serve our patients better, OrthoWorks is happy to announce the addition of the latest state of the art Kodak 9000 Digital X Ray Machine to our San Bruno office. The advantages of this technology mean that a darkroom and chemicals are no longer required to process x-rays and images can be stored digitally. Computed radiography rarely requires retake due to wider exposure latitude, which results in lower radiation to the patient. Image acquisition is much faster - image previews can be available in less than 15 seconds. Images can be enhanced digitally to aid in interpretation. Images can be stored on disk or transmitted for off-site review. The Kodak 9000 Machine is capable of taking 3-D X-Ray images as well as traditional Panoramic and Head X-Rays.

Panoramic Imaging
Providing twelve different anatomical settings, the KODAK 9000 System is an ideal solution for panoramic shots. The focal trough easily adapts to each patient, adjusting to fit his or her jaw morphology and incisor orientation—with clear, detailed images that can be easily diagnosed.


Cephalometric Imaging
Improve productivity and reduce retakes with the innovative "one-shot" technology that allows clear, sharp cranial images be taken in less than a second. Offering the broadest range of image formats, including full cranial option as well as standard formats.

Focused-Field 3D Imaging
3D Imaging provides more accurately and detailed, anatomically correct images. The focused field-of-view makes it simple to generate high-resolution images for each tooth and easily view all angles and slices you need within an acquired volume.
