VIENNA, March 6 — The KODAK 9500 Cone Beam 3D System was introduced by Carestream Health, Inc., for easy-to-use three-dimensional imaging of cranio-maxillofacial anatomy. Built on the proven and reliable KODAK 9000 platform, the KODAK 9500 3D System enables users to quickly produce magnificent 3D images, ranging from dual jaw to full craniofacial images, more affordably and at a lower dose than traditional medical CT systems.
The KODAK 9500 3D System is well suited for radiology facilities providing cranio-maxillofacial imaging services to dental professionals and medical specialists. With high-quality, anatomically-correct 3D images down to 0.2 mm voxel (VOlume piXEL) size, users are able to leverage the incredible image detail of 3D to provide more accurate diagnoses, improved treatment planning and more efficient patient care.
Image output occurs in DICOM formats, supporting flexible output options including customizable report templates, PACS and medical printer connections. The 3D volumes produced by the KODAK 9500 System can be exported to any other DICOM-compatible software.
Smart Design Enhances Image Quality, Patient Experience
Featuring a user-friendly and stylish design, the KODAK 9500 3D System provides innovative features like face-to-face patient positioning that accommodates standing or seated patients, including wheelchair patients, of varying body types and sizes. Program selection with pre-programmed settings occurs directly on the system’s intuitive interface, simplifying patient setup and exam preparation. The system also includes 3D visualization software designed for dental professionals that is intuitive and easy-to-use, enabling users to focus on diagnosis and treatment. The KODAK 9500 3D System can also be used with any DICOM-compatible 3D visualization software.
Anatomical Programs Optimize Patient Care, Safety
The KODAK 9500 3D System captures dual jaw (9 cm x 15 cm) or all dento-maxillofacial anatomy (18.4 cm x 20.6 cm) in one acquisition for a wide range of clinical applications such as orthodontics, implantology, and surgical planning. With the additional ability to control patient dose through variable settings of mA and kV, practitioners can manage the patient dose by focusing on their immediate diagnostic needs. This enables users to maximize image detail required for the specific application while managing patient dose.

The KODAK 9500 3D system is expected to be generally available for purchase in most European countries in Q2 of this year.
