Carestream Dental has donated a cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging unit to the University of Florida College of Dentistry.
The new equipment, a CS 9300 system, brings the latest in dental x-ray technology to future dental professionals studying at the college, according to the company. The donation also benefits the uninsured and underinsured patients who receive care at the campus teaching clinic and through the college's community outreach programs, Carestream said.
The CS 9300 features up to seven selectable fields of view for 3D images, ranging from 5 cm x 5 cm to 17 cm x 13.5 cm. The unit enables practitioners to focus on a specific region of interest by collimating the field of view, limiting radiation exposure to patients. The CS 9300's capabilities also include 2D digital panoramic imaging and an optional cephalometric modality, the firm said.
