X-Ray Systems
Mercia Dental Equipment Limited supply a wide range of X-Ray equipment from many different manufacturers, including; Satelec, Belmont, Kodak and Plan Meca.
Satelec X-Mind AC
The new X-Mind AC generator is fitted with a Toshiba DG-073B monophased auto rectifier tube. It generates a high 70kV voltage with an ideal intensity of 8mA. Concentrated, high density radiation in a very small diameter focal spot (0.7mm) for greater accuracy.
Supplied with a long cone as standard, the generator is perfectly suited to the parallel technique (a short cone and a rectangular cone are available as options).
The rays emitted have a large wavelength and provide pictures characterized by a widespread grey scale for better distinction of anatomical detail.
The new timer is programmed for use with “D”, “E” or “F” type films. It can be installed remotely and can control one or two units whatever the technology (AC + AC or AC + DC), making the X-Mind concept unique and providing the most flexibility of use in intra-oral radiography.
Satelec X-Mind DC
The new X-Mind DC generator is fitted with a Toshiba DG-073B-DC double anode tungsten tube (intensity of 4mA and 8mA). It generates a constant voltage of 60kV or 70kV. It operates at high frequencies and constant potential which enables very high quality radiation to be emitted, whatever the conditions of use.
The choice of voltage (60 or 70kV) and intensity (4 or 8mA) enables optimal diagnosis of intraoral X-rays with a 35% reduction in exposure time, compared with monophased units.
The timer can control up to two DC generators. The extremely short exposure times (minimum 0.02 sec.) are suitable for digital radiology with CCD, CMOS or phosphor plate sensors (radiation is 50% less that that used with “E” type films).
Belmont Phot-X II
Belmont's Phot-X II has arrived in the UK and offers the latest in reliable technologies. Phot-X II offers lower levels of exposure to radiation and the ability to bespoke settings for all types of Patient. It provides superb image quality on both digital and film systems by offering several variables in the settings. The compact tube head is lightweight, making it easy to hold and position. The scissor arm gives total flexibility and excellent stability for perfectly reliable positioning.
Power Specification: 60 and 70 KV / 4 and 7mA
