On the proven ORTHOPHOS XG platform, Sirona has developed an X-ray system with innovative imaging technology for the greatest possible contrast with the lowest possible dose. It is available as an upgradable 2D version or as a 3D hybrid unit with a large volume (11 × 10 cm) or an 8 × 8 cm volume especially optimised for a general dental practice.

Sharp layer technology uses several thousand individual projections for one panoramic image, which are taken very rapidly from several angles in one rotation and reproduce the individual morphological situation very sharply. Its advantages: excellent panoramic images and the possibility of compensating for positioning errors retroactively.

The automatically implemented sharp layer technology intelligently adapts the sharp layer and does away with the necessity for the advance selection of jaw morphology and front tooth position, thus simplifying the operation of the X-ray unit. The second innovation allowing for a completely new level of image quality is the direct conversion sensor (DCS). It generates electrical signals directly from the X-ray beams without, as in the past, the intermediate step of first converting them to light. This means that less information is lost and the image data yielded are significantly better in relation to the applied dose.
