TeraRecon

TeraRecon is best known for its advanced visualization software, but at this year's RSNA show the San Mateo, CA, company will give attendees another look at the dental conebeam CT scanner first introduced at last year's RSNA conference.

TeraRecon's Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT) system is based on the firm's Xtrillion image processing technology, and produces high-resolution 3D images with 20-second scan times. The scanner is based on flat-panel digital detector technology and includes an image processing engine capable of processing 1,024 images per rotation.

The company is targeting the scanner at dental practices that seek to perform in-office surgical implant procedures. Clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is pending.
