  • Page 11: Product Description

    Product description VisualiX is a direct (filmless) digital X-ray imaging system, conceived specifically for dental radiography in the oral cavity. The system captures X-ray images and makes them available for display on a Personal Computer (PC) screen. An X-ray image sensor (CCD) is positioned in the patient’s mouth just like intra-oral film. The sensor may be inserted in a special positioning device to facilitate positioning and alignment with the X-ray beam.

    These generators can normally provide stabilised tube voltage (kV) and reproducible exposure doses even with very short exposure times. Gendex is committed to the reduction of the exposure dose in order to safeguard both the patients and the practice personnel. VisualiX eHD has been designed with the objective of providing optimum quality images at low doses.

    Acquisition of radiographic images Turn on the PC on which the VisualiX is installed and launch the application software, such as VixWin (please refer to the Software Manual for information on the software program). 1) Set the required technical settings (exposure time, etc.) on the X-ray generator. 2) Apply a new disposable cover to the image sensor, making sure that it covers the portion of the cable which may come into contact with the patient.
  • Page 24 The extent of the sensitive area is delineated by the white dotted line and the border of the “Gendex Imaging” logo on the front side of the sensor. Use of a sensor positioning device is recommended to guarantee that the sensor is positioned at right angles to the radiation beam and parallel to the tooth.
  • Page 25 Gendex VisualiX The sensor may alternatively be positioned by hand, held in place by the patient with one finger just like conventional X-ray film. If the positioning device is not used, a wad of cotton wool may be useful for aligning the sensor parallel to the tooth. It may be best to position the sensor by hand in the small mouths of children.
