5.2 Functions, models and versions
X-MIND prime, manufactured by de Götzen, is a complete panoramic X-ray system that
can perform the following exams:
•
Panoramic adult or child exams, with 3 sizes and 3 types of biting for a total of 18
combinations with automatic selection; with manual selection, it is possible to select
a high voltage between 60kV and 70kV, in 2kV steps and anodic current from 2 mA
to 7.1 mA in the R20 scale steps.
•
Sinus mode makes it possible to take exams of the paranasal sinuses with front
projection (postero/anterior).
•
TMJ closed/open mouth in lateral projection.
•
Right or Left Half-panoramic, to be used when the patient is known to have a
problem only on one side of the arch, in order to reduce radiation.
•
Low dose Panoramic, which reduces the dose radiated by excluding the TMJ's
ascending rami from the radiograph.
•
Frontal dentition, for a radiograph of the front part (roughly from canine to canine).
•
Ortho Rad Panoramic, which reduces teeth overlap, thereby improving the diagnosis
of interproximal decay.
•
Bitewing Left or Right, for lateral dentition (generally from eighth to fourth) with a
trajectory that reduces teeth overlap
•
Bilateral Bitewing (Left and Right), which sequentially performs both bitewings,
showing them on the same image.
Note
The code entered in X-MIND prime to enable additional exams is protected by
a unique Identification Code (UIC); in the event the UIC is not present or is
faulty, error E270 or E271 will be shown.
The UIC is simply an identifier of the single X-MIND prime unit and is generated
by Acteon for the single device serial number.
