Imaging Performance Information

Panoramic and Cephalometric Modality

Line Pair Resolution*: 2.5 lp/mm minimum.

Low Contrast Resolution*: a minimum of 2 low contrast steps for panoramic and a minimum of 1 low contrast step for cephalometric (with Scan Ceph configuration).

*Using a dental phantom for digital image acquisition that complies with the IEC 61223-3-4:2000 standard.

3D

The value of the Modulation Transfer Function** (MTF) at 10 % is superior to 1 lp/mm.

The Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) measured in an homogeneous 1 mm thick slice of PMMA*** material is greater than 10.

** Using a dental phantom for digital image acquisition that complies with the DIN 6868-161 standard.

***Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a transparent thermoplastic material.

CS 9600 does not provide Computed Tomography (CT) numbers; therefore, conventional analyses using CT numbers cannot be made.

Controlling the Image Quality

For optimum results, perform a control test of the image quality. To do this, see the “Controlling the Image Quality" chapter in the CS 9600 User Guide.
