Dr. Mark J. Weingarden’s Practice Purchases KODAK 9000 3D System – Top Quality 3D Images Mean Better Patient Care  

Pittsburgh – Dr. Weingarden’s practice is among the first to add a 3D Extraoral Imaging System to its office, revolutionizing patient treatment.  The KODAK 9000 3D Extraoral Imaging System enables Dr. Weingarden to obtain low radiation dose, high-resolution, three-dimensional (3D) images, as well as panoramic images. 

With the addition of this state-of-the-art 3D unit, Dr. Weingarden’s practice can greatly improve its level of patient care.  Three-dimensional technology allows Dr. Weingarden to better visualize his patients’ dentition, without having to send patients for CT scans.  Viewing an unprecedented level of anatomical detail will help Dr. Weingarden diagnose more accurately and treat with confidence.  The KODAK 3D will transform dental imaging in the same way that CT scans have changed the medical field, in terms of care through better visualization.   This breakthrough technology allows for assessment of implant placement, surgical planning, extractions, examination of oral pathologies and third molar extractions.  It also provides the ability to find dental infections that may involve the sinus.  Often the only symptom for this is sinus congestion that won’t go away with antibiotics. 

The KODAK 9000 3D System was designed to acquire 3D images on a specific dental region of interest, so Dr. Weingarden is able to target the exact area for the 3D exposure.  The amount of radiation exposure to the patient is significantly reduced, delivering 10-30 times less exposure than other dental radiography systems and 150 times less than a CT scan.  

Having highly detailed, true-to-life 3D images helps Dr. Weingarden provide quicker and more accurate diagnoses, improved treatment planning and better patient care.

Focused field of view means that other tissues, such as the brain and the eyes, will not be unnecessarily radiated with this unit.

As we strive to improve our periodontal practice and to take better care of our patients, we have invested in the Kodak 9000 3D extraoral imaging system.  This innovative unit provides a two-in-one solution with access to powerful, focused-field 3D images.   The anatomical detail and viewing capabilities of 3D imaging offer a wide range of diagnostic possibilities such as implant placement, surgical planning, extractions, examination of oral pathologies, and third molar evaluations.   It also allows us to detect dental infections that may involve the sinus.

When you refer a patient to our practice, you can rest assured that your patient will receive the best possible service with the top technology on the market.  The Kodak 9000 3D system provides high-resolution images at 0.076 voxels, providing the details necessary to assist in diagnosis.  Additionally, the localized field reduces the irradiated surface, thus providing better protection for patients.  In fact, the average dose for a single 3D example performed with the Kodak 9000 3D System represents one to three days of natural daily exposure.   More significantly, it represents ten to thirty times less exposure than other dental cone beam CT systems.

Three-dimensional images from the Kodak 9000 3D system are generated in standard DICOM format for easy image sharing, should we need to collaborate on a case. 

We want you to know that what matters to us most is taking care of patients.  We feel that this new unit helps us significantly improve patient care.  We appreciate the trust you put in our practice and look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial relationship for many years to come.
