Product description
VisualiX is a direct (filmless) digital X-ray imaging system, conceived specifically for
dental radiography in the oral cavity. The system captures X-ray images and makes
them available for display on a Personal Computer (PC) screen.
An X-ray image sensor (CCD) is positioned in the patient’s mouth just like intra-oral film.
The sensor may be inserted in a special positioning device to facilitate positioning and
alignment with the X-ray beam. The sensor may also be positioned by hand with the
assistance of the patient.
There is no electrical or physical connection between VisualiX and the X-ray generator.
Images are automatically acquired when X-rays are present in a dose which is percep-
tible to the sensor.
Digital X-ray images are quickly displayed on the screen. Images can be optimized for
viewing via imaging software, stored as image files, and printed out on a suitable printer
if desired. VixWin is one example of a dedicated software that employs a number of
utilities for optimizing viewing and printing of images.
VisualiX must be connected to a PC running on a Microsoft® Windows® operating system
through the standard USB port (Universal Serial Bus). See the “System Configuration”
paragraph for details.
eHD Technology
eHD
is the acronym of “Ergonomics and High Definition”: the latest, unsurpassed tech-
nology in real-time X-ray imaging, which allows enhanced analysis of radiographic
details using a highly ergonomic system characterised by round corners to facilitate
positioning in the oral cavity.
eHD sensors can be identified by the eHD logo shown below which appears on the top
of the sensor and Intermediate Electronics (IME) box.
