A single, low-dose NewTom scan creates an accurate reconstruction of a 3-D model of the patient's skull or any portion of the maxillofacial region. This allows for better evaluation of TMJ, airway, tongue posture, critical bone relationships, impacted teeth, retained root tips, paranasal sinus passages, and much more. This is a tremendous benefit in effectively discussing and visualizing treatment planning issues with patients.

With a single, low radiation scan, the NewTom system can produce any number of views from the areas of interest. As shown above, the detail needed to accurately diagnose the patient is easily obtained.
Airway analysis
This sagittal view of the upper airway or nasal pharynx clearly shows the relation of the adenoid tissue with the posterior part of the inferior turbinates. This is the most critical relationship in the determination of nasal breathing problems.
The coronal view of the posterior part of the pharynx is crucial in determining the anatomic obstruction produced by the hypertrophic adenoid tissue. The NewTom image is so accurate that the amount of space for the passage of air can accurately be measured in three dimensions.
Many layers of information can be viewed in various thicknesses from 0.5 mm to several millimeters.
Traditional x-ray imaging devices cannot produce coronal views with the same level of detail and accuracy as the NewTom 9000.
The panoramic coronal reconstruction allows for the evaluation of TMJ symmetry.
Take the guess work out of placing implants. By using the NewTom, accurate measurements the location of the mandibular nerve and the geometric dimensions of individual teeth can easily be made.
