Safe Beam™ Technology for Patient Safety
Only NewTom systems employ Safe Beam™ Technology, the safest technology available for patient and staff. Featured in all New Tom Units, Safe Beam™ automatically adjusts the radiation dosage according to the patient’s age and size.
This technology utilizes intermittent bursts of radiation only milliseconds in length during image acquisition. Other systems deliver a constant stream of radiation and the same amount of radiation, whether a 300 pound adult or a small child. Safe Beam™ Technology automatically and continuously monitors system operations, thus eliminating the possibility of unnecessary exposures.
In conjunction with our patented Safe Beam™ technology, when compared to other CBCT systems, NewTom VGi has a wider range with which it adjusts the x-ray power and quantity (kV=110 and mA=1-20). As a result, patient exposure is tailored and an image contract remains consistent regardless of patient size or bone density.
