The innovative FOV of the Smart Plus provides an arch-shaped volume, which shows a wider view of dentition compared to other devices of the same FOV. Normally, a FOV 10x8.5 image shows tooth #8. However, when the tooth is lying on its side, there is a high possibility that the tooth will be cut out of the image. The "arch-shaped volume" eliminates this possibility and shows the hidden dentition area.
[ARTIFACT REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF VATECH] ART-V finds out the location of metals when radiation is exposed. And it deletes the metal in projection data artificially and fills that part with the similar values to surrounding area. At the same time, it remembers the original location and status of metals and then it inpaints the area with new value which has no streaks.
Metal artifact hinders visualisation and naturally reduces diagnostic confidence.
