Product/Services
The solution, developed by RTD, is the miniaturization of the medical fluoroscope or C-arm. The DFIS product platform is a small size and high resolution x-ray apparatus that will deliver three dental imaging features in a single device. For the first time in history, dentists will be able ‘to see’ their work in ‘real time’ as they perform it. This will translate into less patient’s suffering and dentists’ ability to work easier and faster while increasing the productivity of their practice.
Published research concluded that “Fluoroscopy” dose rate (radiation dose) is several orders of magnitude lower than digital and film-based intraoral radiography.[i] [ii] [iii] [iv] [v] [vi] [vii] [viii]. As a result, the DFIS low radiation dose will allow dentists to stay with the patient during imaging procedures with no interruptions, saving working time and increasing practices revenues. Finally, by seeing dental procedures in real-time, like a video, dentists will be able to reduce procedural errors and to provide increased safety and a better dental care to their patients.
