Size isn't everything, and the compact size of Durr Dental's VistaScan Mini image plate scanner belies the power of its performance. This tiny scanner enables the efficient and timesaving digitisation of image plates. Its large touch screen simplifies operation and since the device is capable of wireless connectivity, its positioning and applications are really flexible. Its size also makes it portable; should you do a visit to a care home, for example, you can simply take the unit with you.
All intraoral image plate formats can be processed – from size 0 to 4. This compact unit can also work independently of the IT network, so if your system goes down, you can still scan and save X-ray images. The images are temporarily placed in the internal memory, which can later be transferred to the database.
The image quality is superb and it is capable of depicting D1 caries lesions and endo instruments down to ISO 06. Picture clarity will arguably aid patient communication as well as ensuring accurate record keeping. For more information contact Durr Dental on 01536 647566.
