ROSELLE, Ill.—Oral surgeons will be among the first dental professionals to experience the new Planmeca Viso, which debuted at the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons meeting in Chicago, Oct. 8–13.

The new Planmeca Viso imaging system, which includes 2D, 3D and an optional cephalometric modalities, offers improved patient positioning, simpler field of view adjustments, high image quality and intelligent patient movement correction. With a large 25x30cm flat panel sensor, Planmeca Viso can capture some of the industry’s largest single scans volume covering the entire maxillofacial area.

Patient positioning is done directly from the system’s control panel utilizing integrated cameras and a live video view. The operator can see the patient live from the control panel screen for flexible and exact positioning. This also allows users to do field of view adjustments directly from the live control panel view with the touch of a finger. 

Another feature, Planmeca CALM (correction algorithm for latent movement), analyzes and compensates for slight movements during a scan to provide improved diagnostic images and virtually eliminate retakes. Planmeca Viso’s new imaging arm design also provides increased patient space and shorter acquisition times.

“When we started this project, our goal was to create a CBCT system that would offer a fluent workflow and adaptability for different patient sizes and indications—not to mention uncompromised image quality even at the lowest doses,” said Timo Müller, vice president of Planmeca’s X-ray division. “I am happy to say that we have exceeded this goal.”
