Planmeca ProMax® is a complete maxillofacial imaging system. The design and operation principles are based on the latest scientific research, technological  innovations and the most demanding needs of modern-day radiology. Advanced technology •  Autofocus positions the focal layer automatically for perfect panoramic images •  Dynamic Exposure Control (DEC) measures the patient’s radiation transparency and automatically adjusts exposure values •  Patented SCARA (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) technology guarantees an anatomically correct imaging geometry for clear, error-free images •  Easy upgrades – add cephalostat or 3D imaging capability at any time Effortless use •  Full-view patient positioning with triple-laser patient positioning lights •  Side entry for comfortable access •  Easy-to-use graphical interface •  Versatile Planmeca Romexis® 2D imaging software •  TWAIN support and full DICOM compliance Planmeca ProMax X-ray unit provides a wide range of extraoral imaging modalities: panoramic imaging for dental arch maxillary sinus imaging temporomandibular joint imaging 2D linear tomography cephalometry  Open positioning and easy use Free view to the patient from all directions Three laser positioning laser beams Easy access also for wheelchair patients Motorized patient positioning and temple supports Autofocus feature makes the positioning of the focal layer automatically. Autofocus takes first a short, low-dose scout image for searching landmarks and calculating the focal layer with the help of a special neural network algorithm. The user can monitor the suggested focal layer adjustment both on the control panel and on the image acquisition preview. The focal layer adjustments can be amended, or the user can simply accept the adjustments and continue to the final exposure. Dynamic Exposure Control (DEC) adapts the whole imaging chain individually for each patient's physio-anatomical characteristics to produce the optimal contrast and density. Both the X-ray source and the image receptor are automatically adjusted to produce the optimum image quality.
