The major X-ray technology used in the Center, is the
ComCat® head and neck tomographic unit. It is absolute state-of-the-art, totally
computerized and robotic. Having a hypocycloidal X-ray head and film movement, the
unit delivers a distortion and smear free tomographic image at a constant 26%
enlargement. In addition to providing excitingly clear Temporomandibular joint
tomographic cross-sectional and sagittal slices. It is equipped with a static
imaging arm which enables the production of the entire range of static skull and cervical
views. Always being aware of the dangers of radiation, we are happy to announce that
the equivalent or superior imaging to the CAT scan can be done with our equipment, using
less than 1/150th of the radiation used by the CAT technology. Each of our films
uses less X-radiation than two single dental X-rays. The Center is also equipped
with the latest in medical processing and image duplicating equipment.
It is the goal of the center to consistently provide
"textbook" archival quality radiographs for diagnostic use.
