Understanding dental x-ray systems
A dental x-ray system is an essential tool in diagnostic imaging, providing unparalleled insights into oral and maxillofacial health. Traditionally associated with dental clinics, these systems are now increasingly utilised in radiology centres, where they play a vital role in offering advanced imaging services to support specialised dental and veterinary practices. In this guide, we will explore the different types of dental x-ray systems, their applications, and the ways in which they are transforming diagnostic imaging.

Intra-oral x-ray systems
Intra-oral x-ray systems are the most commonly used dental imaging devices, specifically designed to capture detailed images of individual teeth and their surrounding structures. They are particularly effective in diagnosing cavities, root canal infections, and periodontal disease.
Applications in radiology centres
For radiology centres, intra-oral x-ray systems serve as indispensable tools for dental imaging referrals. Their compact size and precision make them essential for producing high-quality images that assist dental professionals in treatment planning.
Applications in veterinary practices
Interestingly, intra-oral x-ray systems are also highly valuable in veterinary medicine. In veterinary clinics, these systems are frequently used to diagnose dental issues in animals, particularly in pets such as dogs and cats. By capturing detailed images, they enable veterinarians to detect problems such as fractured teeth, infections, and oral tumours more effectively.
Carestream dental solution
Medic Cloud proudly supplies the Carestream Dental CS 2200 Intra-Oral Generator, which features reduced scatter radiation and enhanced image clarity. Its compatibility with advanced imaging systems ensures seamless integration for both radiology centres and veterinary practices.
OPG (Orthopantomogram) systems
OPG systems provide a panoramic view of the entire mouth, including the teeth, jaws, and surrounding bones. This comprehensive imaging capability makes OPG systems invaluable for assessing orthodontic needs, detecting jaw fractures, and planning wisdom tooth extractions.
Applications in radiology centres
Radiology centres frequently utilise OPG systems to generate detailed imaging for dental specialists, particularly for pre-surgical evaluations and orthodontic assessments. Due to their fast and efficient imaging process, these systems are ideal for handling high patient volumes.
Carestream dental solution
The Carestream Dental CS 8100 OPG System is a compact, high-performance unit that produces sharp panoramic images while offering intuitive operation. It is an excellent choice for radiology centres looking to expand their dental imaging services.
OPG with CEPH attachment
For orthodontic and craniofacial evaluations, OPG systems equipped with a cephalometric (CEPH) attachment are essential. CEPH imaging provides precise measurements of craniofacial anatomy, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment planning of complex orthodontic cases.
Applications in radiology centres
Radiology centres offering orthodontic imaging services can greatly benefit from OPG systems with CEPH attachments. These systems cater to specialists who require detailed craniofacial measurements for braces, orthognathic surgeries, and other corrective treatments.
Carestream dental solution
The Carestream Dental CS 8100SC with CEPH Attachment provides dual functionality, delivering both panoramic and cephalometric imaging. Its advanced features and compact design ensure smooth operation, even in high-demand radiology environments.

CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) Units
CBCT systems represent the pinnacle of dental imaging technology, offering 3D imaging capabilities for a comprehensive analysis of dental and maxillofacial structures. These systems are widely used for implant planning, TMJ analysis, and complex endodontic cases.
Applications in radiology centres
CBCT units are an invaluable addition to radiology centres, enabling them to offer advanced imaging services for dental specialists. By producing highly detailed 3D images, these systems significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.
Carestream dental solution
The Carestream Dental CS 9600 CBCT System delivers exceptional image quality with versatile field-of-view options. Its smart features, including automated patient positioning, make it a standout choice for radiology centres aiming to provide premium imaging services.
Conclusion
The dental x-ray system has evolved to meet a wide range of diagnostic needs, from standard intra-oral imaging to sophisticated CBCT scans. For radiology centres, these systems present new opportunities to collaborate with dental and veterinary professionals, offering specialised imaging services that drive improved patient outcomes.
