New KODAK Digital Radiography System Improves Positioning, Patient Comfort and Sensor Robustness

Twenty years after introducing the first dental digital radiography system in the world, Eastman Kodak Company is announcing the 7th generation of KODAK RVG Digital Radiography Systems. The new KODAK RVG 6100 Digital Radiography System offers improved positioning, patient comfort and sensor reliability through the new design, in addition to providing the highest image resolution in the industry.

The new sensor design helps enable more accurate and comfortable positioning and a wider variety of intraoral examinations. The rounded corners help make the sensors more comfortable for patients, and the new cable attachment helps provide both easier positioning and cable robustness. In addition to capturing periapical and bitewing exams with size 1 and 2 sensors, the RVG 6100 System features new size 0 sensors specifically designed for pediatric examinations. The reduced sensor size is ideal for easier positioning in children’s mouths or for adult patients with small mouths. Also, the new RVG 6100 sensors will allow practitioners to reduce the patient radiation dose by up to 10% for sizes 1 and 2 and 40% for the size 0, as compared with the previous sensor generation.

An additional benefit is the increased reliability of the sensor, due to new shock absorbing materials, which help protect the sensor from damage caused by dropping the sensor or a patient biting it. Miniaturizing of components has led to a stronger cable which is more tolerant of daily usage.
