Consultant's Comments:

- Bitewing feature is a bonus.
- Panoramic Corporation technical support is very responsive.
- Image quality can be automatically set with the Equal Vertical button, but some adjustments may be necessary.
- Temple supports are stiff to slide, but this rigidity keeps the patient aligned and still during imaging.

- Provide a quick reference guide for the various images.
Description:
The PC-4000 Digital Panoramic Imaging System combines a legacy of proven reliability with cutting edge digital technology that consists of an X-ray generator, a Cadium Telluride (CdTe) sensor and a software/computer/monitor complex. The X-ray generator is designed to be extremely durable and to produce consistently precise X-ray energy output. The CdTe sensor is designed to minimize light distortion by directly converting x-ray energy into electronic digital output providing improved image clarity and contrast. The sensor produces over 300 image frames per second for a multi-layered panoramic image that allows selective enhancement of the different layers. The complete PC-4000 installation package includes a properly matched computer system with pre-loaded imaging software that allows two-dimensional (2-D) rotation and multi-focal layer imaging for adjustment and correction along with dual focus operation, magnification and spinal compensation. The system features a menu with touch pad activation and LED readouts for selection of image type and kVp settings. Temple adjustments and a disposable bite guide aid in patient positioning. The provided imaging software is compatible with most popular practice management software, and it is TWAIN and DICOM compliant. Panoramic Corporation offers the system with all-inclusive pricing that includes shipping, installation, training, a 2-year part and labor warranty, a Dell computer and flat panel monitor as well as the Platinum Care Package (Free Phone & Online support and access to their nationwide service network). The PC-4000 was used by 17 consultants during a six-month evaluation period. It received a 90% clinical rating.
