Clinical performance and ease of use: the Carestream CS 2200 intraoral X-ray generator
The Carestream CS 2200 intraoral X-ray generator represents a new generation of radiology equipment combining high performance, ergonomics and safety. Designed to optimise image quality while significantly reducing radiation exposure, it offers healthcare professionals a comprehensive and sustainable solution for intraoral radiography. Thanks to a high-frequency direct current generator (300 kHz), the CS 2200 guarantees stable emission, enabling consistent image accuracy for more reliable diagnoses. All this in a compact and functional design, designed to fit easily into the modern clinical environment.
Equipped with an intuitive portable timer, this model allows you to quickly adjust the settings to suit each clinical situation. The settings are pre-programmed to take into account the type of image, the patient's morphology and the type of sensor or film used. This automation greatly facilitates everyday use and limits handling errors. After each exposure, the dose delivered is automatically displayed, ensuring rigorous monitoring of radiation protection. The clear, visual interface saves time while ensuring maximum safety for the patient and practitioner.
Image quality is at the heart of the CS 2200's design. With a focal spot of 0.7 mm, the generator produces remarkably sharp images with fine, uniform resolution. The adjustable voltage (60 or 70 kV) allows the contrast or grey scale to be accentuated as required for the diagnosis. This total control over imaging parameters gives the practitioner the freedom to adjust each image to optimise clinical interpretation. The reduction in radiation dose – up to 30% lower than traditional generators – ensures an optimal balance between performance and safety.
The CS 2200 can be easily integrated into all types of practices thanks to its numerous mounting options: horizontal or vertical wall mounting, ceiling mounting, mobile or on an Irix stand. It can replace older models (such as the Trophy Irix) without major work, thus reducing installation costs. The articulated arm is available in several lengths to suit the room configuration. The lightweight, easy-to-handle tube head allows for smooth and precise positioning. The cone has been designed to facilitate alignment with the detector and prevent framing errors, ensuring efficient and repeatable images.
The CS 2200 is compatible with both analogue and digital imaging technologies, making it a future-proof device. It works equally well with X-ray film and digital sensors and can be synchronised with Carestream RVG systems for seamless integration into the digital workflow. Its robust design, manufactured entirely by Carestream, ensures exceptional durability. The CS 2200 is a reliable choice for professionals looking to invest in a modern, ergonomic and durable generator without compromising on image quality or patient safety.
