1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATIONS FOR USE
hyperion X9 is an extraoral X-ray system for digital panoramic exams, tele-X-rays and tomographies, intended to:
(I) produce orthopanoramic images of the maxillofacial region and carry out diagnostic examination on teeth, dental
arches and other structures in the oral cavity;
(II) produce X-ray images of dental arches, cranium parts, carpus, and cephalometric examinations, if equipped with
tele-X-ray arm (CEPH);
(III) produce tomographic images of the oral cavity and maxillofacial structures and carry out diagnostic examination
on teeth, dental arches, structures of the oral cavity and some cranial bones, if equipped with CBCT option.
The system performs tomographic exams with the acquisition of X-ray images through a 360-degree rotating
sequence and the reconstruction of a three-dimensional matrix of the examined volume, thus producing two- and
three-dimensional views of the volume itself. This technique is known as CBCT.
hyperion X9 is a digital X-ray device, suitable for expert professionals, which allows to obtain dental images in a
simple and automatic way. The image is acquired by means of an X-ray detector and a constant potential X-ray
source, powered by a high-voltage and high-frequency generator. Then the image is sent to a computer, in real time
(2D or 3D) or subsequently (2D) according to the needs and choice of the operator.
hyperion X9 allows the following projections:
- standard or panoramic views for paediatric patients (PAN);
- complete or partial views of the teeth, selected by the user (DENT);
- front and side views of maxillary sinuses (SIN);
- side and posteroanterior views of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), from different angles.
If equipped with tele-X-ray arm (CEPH), hyperion X9 allows the following projections:
- standard or paediatric cephalographies in latero-lateral view;
- cephalographies in anteroposterior and posteroanterior view;
- hand (carpus) X-ray.
If equipped with CBCT option, hyperion X9 also allows to acquire tomographic images.
hyperion X9 is intended for use in dentistry, in the following fields:
- endodontics;
- periodontology;
- dental prosthesis;
- functional diagnosis and therapy of craniomandibular dysfunctions;
- dental surgery;
- dental implants;
- maxillofacial surgery;
- orthodontics.
Contraindications:
- visualisation of cartilaginous structures;
- the CBCT technique has a limited ability to detect soft tissues.
