Dental Panoramic Imaging

Fox Dental OPG

Panoramic and cephalometric imaging, in one workstation.

Fox Dental OPG runs a dental panoramic X-ray unit and doubles as the review workstation, for equipment makers who bring the gantry, generator and detector. It holds the scan programs, rebuilds the panorama from the detector frames, and gives the clinician the tools to read, plan and report.
