The Technology

Flow X-Ray's HDX redefines high definition X-ray. The accuracy and range of the microprocessor-controlled timer allows you to use the fastest speed available film or the latest digital imaging systems -- significantly reducing both patient radiation exposure and image blurring caused by patient movement during an exposure.

CEP™ Makes the Difference

The HDX system's power-packed CEP (Constant Emission Power) X-ray beam is emitted continuously during an exposure utilizing "constant potential" technology rather than in bursts as in conventional systems. This technical innovation reduces exposure times about in half which reduces the possibility of image unsharpness caused by patient movement. Also, CEP produces more X-ray energy to which the X-ray film and digital sensors are more sensitive and, as a result, less X-ray energy is required to produce an X-ray imaage. In fact, "constant potential dental X-ray machines can reduce radiation dose by up to 30%...".*

The HDX is Very Accommodating

The horizontal reach of the standard arm will easily accommodate a two-operatory swing-through layout. And for those operatories where space is limited, an optional short arm is also available. The lightweight tubehead and superior arm balance combine to provide easy, drift-free positioning.

Fully compatible with all imaging systems, including digital.


The HDX with CEP produces radiographs with an advantageous blend between high contrast for caries detection, and the broad gray scale for visualization of tissue and of minor density variations. High definition radiography means clear, sharp, detailed results each and every time. And with the ability to make exposures as short as 0.01 second, the HDX is compatible with all brands of Digital Imaging Devices which require shorter exposures than even the fastest speed X-ray films.

Advantages

  • Integrated or Remote installation models available. The HDX remote control can be installed directly on the unit's integrated wallplate, or at a remote location. It's as simple as hanging a picture. The thin, low voltage connecting cable (35 feet supplied) can be surface mounted or concealed. And the HDX will easily mount to a single wall stud to accommodate virtually any location, making installation easy and inexpensive.

  • Available in mobile unit. Easy to transport for economical multiple operatories use.

  • Microprocessor control with digital readout displays clearly visible exposure settings. Simple in function yet advanced in technology.

  • Pre-programmed exposure setting. Each time the system is turned on, the desired pre-programmed exposure time is indicated. This setting can be reset easily by the operator to any time between 0.01 and 2.00 seconds.

  • Self-diagnostics eliminates guesswork. Each time the system is turned on and before each exposure, the HDX performs a series of self-diagnostic checks. Should an operator, utility or maintencnce malfunction occur, the system alerts the operator by means of an audible signal, and digitally displays a clear error message pinpointing the suggested opertor response.

  • Automatic Line Voltage Compensation. Provides trouble-free operation over a wide range of image softening line voltage fluctuations.







  • Rectangular Cones. The rectangular lead-lined cone offers the maximum in X-radiation protection by reducing the area of tissue exposure to a minimum. The X-ray field is reduced by more than 50% over the standard round open end cone. We recommend that these rectangular cones be used with (Rectangular locator type) film positioning instruments, whether using the Long cone or Bisecting/angle technique.

  • Certified. Complies with DHHD Radiation Performance Standards, 21 CFR Subchapter J.
