3D DIAGNOSTICS

DVT – a new dimension in 3D X-ray technology

Modern 3D volume tomography (DVT) opens up completely new perspectives in medical diagnostics. Even the smallest irregularities affecting the teeth and jaw can be revealed and precisely localised in a three-dimensional depiction.

In contrast to a classical X-ray image, where only a single image is taken, a 3D DVT presentation involves producing 200 images within
a few seconds – the diagnosis software takes these data to create a three-dimensional image. The jaw can be rotated in every direction and viewed from all sides, just like a 3D model – it is even possible
to “look inside” the bone and to take a computer-guided “virtual tour”
through the jaw. All the views of relevance to the diagnosis, such as
parameter images or section images, can be presented in top pre-
cision with the diagnosis software.

Especially surgical procedures can be planned ahead of the operation down to the smallest detail on the basis of a DVT image. The precise diagnosis offers an extremely high degree of assurance. This allows the position for the implant to be determined precisely, for instance. The bone conditions can be assessed, sensitive nerve regions exactly recognised and optimally protected. Just as with a “navigation system”, the procedure leads to the required outcome, precisely and accurately. Surgical stress is reduced to an absolute minimum in the operation.

Modern DVT technology offers significantly greater precision and safety than the methods previously available. Radiation exposure is far lower than for a conventional CT (Computer Tomography) scan.

Precise diagnosis – optimal therapy

Precise DVT diagnostics with their three-dimensional imaging form the basis for optimal therapy and the best possible treatment success.
