High-Precision Dental Imaging with RAYSCAN α-3D: Advanced Technology for an Optimized Workflow
The RAYSCAN α-3D is a next-generation digital dental imaging unit developed by Ray Co.. Designed to meet the needs of modern dental practices and specialists in orthodontics, implantology, and oral surgery, this platform combines three imaging modalities into a single device: 2D panoramic, cephalometric, and Cone Beam CT (CBCT). Through cutting-edge engineering and an intuitive user interface, it enables fast, precise image capture—at low radiation doses—while ensuring exceptional ease of use and optimal patient comfort.
One of the major strengths of the RAYSCAN α-3D lies in its ability to produce outstanding image quality using Adaptive Moving Focus (AMF) technology, which dynamically adjusts the panoramic image layer for an improved signal-to-noise ratio. This is complemented by proprietary noise reduction systems that ensure optimal clarity even at lower exposure levels. Additionally, its Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) feature significantly improves the visibility of anatomical structures near metallic restorations, with no additional scanning steps or extended acquisition time.
The RAYSCAN α-3D is also designed for speed. With pulsed X-ray emissions and a high-frequency generator (>100 kHz), it significantly lowers radiation dose while accelerating the scan process. For instance, cephalometric exams can be completed in just 4 seconds, minimizing motion blur and reducing the need for retakes.
Ergonomics are a key consideration: patient positioning is made easier via a wireless remote control, and all alignment components adjust automatically. The Adaptive Tube Cooling Time (ATCT) system enables continuous image acquisition without overheating, maintaining consistent image quality without the need for pauses. The touchscreen interface allows smooth navigation with multiple scan modes selectable at a click, including standard, sinus, TMJ, segmented, child mode, and more. The system also automatically adjusts parameters based on the patient's age, optimizing both image quality and radiation safety.
Software integration is another strong point: the SMARTDent platform enables full image management from a tablet or smartphone without the need for software installation, thanks to a responsive web interface. The Xelis 3D software provides advanced functions such as implant simulation, slice visualization, and mandibular canal tracing. It is fully compatible with DICOM 3.0 and allows printing or digital export.
The RAYSCAN α-3D is thus a must-have tool for professionals seeking to combine diagnostic performance, simplicity of use, and patient comfort. Highly scalable, it can be updated remotely and extended with additional modules to meet evolving clinical needs.
