Transcan Mode
The Transcan projection is specifically intended to be used for implantology.
It employs scanographic technology to acquire layered images of operator
selected 8 mm thickness perpendicular to the dental arch (transversal plane).
Transcan Projections
Four projections can be selected on the control panel, offering a complete
examination of the dental arches and corresponding alveolar bone sections:
• RR posterior - molars, premolars, right cuspids
• RR incisors - right incisors
• LL posterior - molars, premolars, left cuspids
• LL incisors - left incisors
Each projection permits a transversal slicing of 8 mm focal trough width,
symmetrically disposed relative to the image’s center plane in mesial and
distal direction.
Three scans are executed per projection and projected on the same image.
The magnification factor is 1.40 relative to the central plane of the
scannographic scan.
NOTE: The mathematic model for the dental arch and dentition according to
Welander and Nummikosky has been applied.
