Carestream Dental’s RVG Digital Radiography Celebrates 30 Years
Company Builds on World’s First Digital Intraoral Radiography Sensor;
Continues to Offer Practices Innovative Imaging Solutions
ATLANTA – The
dental industry was changed forever with the advent of RadioVisioGraphy
(RVG) in 1982, and now Carestream Dental is celebrating its 30th
year of providing dental practitioners worldwide with unparalleled
image quality. Invented and patented by visionary French dentist Dr.
Francis Mouyen, RVG imaging delivers digital images instantly, creating a
more efficient workflow for practices and improving patient
communication.
Since its introduction, RVG has established a continuing tradition of innovation in digital radiography,
including milestones such as offering the first sensor to provide
>20 lp/mm resolution and a wireless sensor that can easily be shared
between operatories. Today, Carestream Dental’s RVG family features
three sensor options for practitioners.
Serving as entry point into digital dental radiography, the RVG 5100
provides practices with an ideal solution for basic intraoral imaging
needs. With two sensor sizes available, this system is easy to use and
delivers exceptional images (true resolution of 14 lp/mm) in seconds.
Introduced in 2006, the RVG 6100
offers the highest image resolution in the industry (>20 lp/mm) and
delivers images in seconds. Perfect for multi-chair practices, this
system is designed to streamline workflow with easy image capture,
analysis and sharing. RVG 6100 sensors are available in three sizes,
including a size 0 sensor for pediatric applications.
Delivering the same, best-in-class image quality as wired RVG 6100 sensors, the RVG 6500
system (introduced in 2010) uses proven Wi-Fi technology to eliminate
the need for the sensors to have a wired connection to a computer.
Offering unprecedented imaging flexibility, this system can be used in a
variety of practice configurations, including multi-sensor and
multi-computer environments. Available in three sizes, RVG 6500 sensors
transfer images to operatory computers within seconds.
“The
introduction of RVG imaging caused a significant shift in the oral
health industry – a shift towards digital technology,” said Edward
Shellard, D.M.D., chief marketing officer and director of business
development for Carestream Dental. “Over the years, we’ve continued to
develop and strengthen our offerings in the digital radiography category
so our products meet clinicians’ diagnostic needs, integrate into
practice workflows and are easy to use. From the invention of the
digital sensor to the introduction of a wireless sensor that offers the
highest image resolution, our line of RVG products has evolved to serve
the ever-changing needs of our customers and their patients.”
