ATLANTA, June 30—Endodontic Associates of Michigan, one of the largest endodontic group practices in the world has selected the KODAK RVG 6000 Digital Radiography System to digitize radiography exams in its seven affiliate offices. “The image quality of the RVG 6000 sensors is unmatched by any other available digital radiography technology,” said Gerald C. Dietz, Sr., DDS, MS, founder and managing partner, Endodontic Associates. “We’re a premiere group practice and need to provide our referring doctors and patients with the highest quality images. The RVG 6000 system helps us do that.”
The RVG 6000 sensor captures images at a measured resolution of over 20 line pairs per mm, the highest resolution of any available digital x-ray technology, as documented recently by an independent research study.
