1.2 General information on the use of GALAXIS
Intended use GALAXIS is a software for dental practices and clinics that enables the pre-
paration of three-dimensional volume reconstructions of the maxillofacial re-
gion using the GALILEOS dental volume tomograph.
GALAXIS is a component of the GALILEOS system.
The volume reconstructions can be used both for planning and for diagnostic
purposes with the help of GALAXIS.
● For example for oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery and ENT
medicine.
The GALILEOS system The GALILEOS system comprises:
● X-ray unit
– The X-ray unit produces two-dimensional images of the head region
via a cone beam with a rotation sequence.
● RCU (Reconstruction Control Unit)
– A reconstruction software converts two-dimensional images into a
three-dimensional volume reconstruction.
– The RCU also manages the software licenses.
● GALAXIS workstation(s)
– Enable(s) the creation of a new three-dimensional volume recon-
struction.
(Call to the X-ray unit to create a new image and to the RCU to con-
vert this image into a three-dimensional volume reconstruction).
– The three-dimensional volume reconstructions are displayed and
processed via the GALAXIS software.
– Management of the three-dimensional volume reconstructions
(saving them to and retrieving them from the SIDEXIS database).
● SIDEXIS database
– Storage of three-dimensional volume reconstructions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
